The Greensboro Amateur Radio Association is a club
made up of people with diverse interests that share a common
bond, Amateur Radio. GARA is a public-service oriented club.
As an Amateur Radio operator, you can communicate by two-way
radio with other amateurs, also known as hams, across town
or around the world.
Anyone can be a ham - no matter what age, sex or physical
ability.
Our meetings are held the fourth Monday each month at the
Golden Corral off Wendover Ave. in Greensboro. The meeting
usually begins around 7:15 with everyone gathering to eat
about 6:30 p.m. If you have an interest in Ham Radio, you
are more than welcome to attend.

"FEED LINE"- GARA's informative monthly
publication for all your amateur radio news in Guilford
County and surrounding areas.
Congratulations
to members of the Azalea Coast Amateur Radio Club
for
orchestrating a successful amateur radio contact between
the battleship
USS North Carolina and her namesake, docked in Wilmington
for a
commissioning ceremony this weekend. The director
of the museum ship
and the Captain of the new attack submarine USS North
Carolina made a 2
meter contact yesterday. The event was covered by
WWAY TV and video CLICK

This is the first known conveyance of radio greetings
between two
namesake military vessels since the cold war era.
This weekend the
ACARC will be operating a special event station from
the radio room of
the battleship North Carolina to celebrate the commissioning
of the new
submarine.
