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.

DON'T FORGET! - READ "THE "FEED LINE" - GARA's informative monthly publication for all your amateur radio news in Guilford County and surrounding areas.
