Club News & Activities
Who we are
This South Central Connecticut area amateur radio club offers 3 repeaters, some with EchoLink and IRLP. Members enjoy weekly breakfast get togethers. We sponsor several weekly nets on the Club repeaters and a simplex net. We also assist with volunteer events, such as walk-a-thons throughout the year.
UHF Repeater Status - Dues / Donations Needed!
Amplifier - Was found to have low output power. Will be sent in for repair.
Power Supply - One of 2 fans dead. 2 more ordered.
Between the expense of the amp repair and the fans, it is expected to cost about $600.
If you haven't paid your dues or would like to make a donation, it would be greatly appreciated. Please go to the INFO / DONATION section of this website. Thank you.
SPARC would like to acknowledge the generous donations of Ed (W1YSM), Brenda (KW1YL) and Rich (K1RSU).
