About Us
The West Morris Amateur Radio Club was formed as a private non-profit club to encourage and foster mutual interest in Amateur Radio Communications.
Our goal is that in cooperation with other organizations and agencies, we promote the advancement of public service and safety through amateur radio communications.
We actively encourage participation of our members in emergency communications, so that the safety of the public may be better served. WMARC was formed in 2010 when a small group of hams decided to form it.
They shared an interest in mobile HF/VHF/UHF operating. From there the club has grown to over 15 members with interests as varied as QRP (low power) operation, contests, packet, RTTY, emergency communications and satellite operation.
Our monthly meetings are currently held at the TBD on the third Tuesday of each month at 7 PM. Please check the club calendar for meeting dates. The meetings are a gathering place for "eyeball" QSOs and members enjoy seeing the face behind the voice while enjoying interesting speakers and programs and complimentary refreshments. In August there is a Club Picnic with many family activities including a bicycle ride and softball game. There is also a FOX HUNT (hidden transmitter search) with prizes and there are always a few QRP rigs chirping from a nearby picnic table.
Some other club activities include participation in ARRL Field Day, QRP Camping weekends in the Poconos.
In times of emergencies WMARC members are always ready to serve the community under the auspices of ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service). WMARC members support many public service events.
WMARC is not a repeater club, but we do make use of local repeater's in our area. In the future we hope to host two repeaters on the 2 meter and a 70cm Bands.
WMARC has much to offer - we hope you will join us!
