and 448.775 MHz (-)PL146.2 Hz Membership in SCARA is not required to participate in these nets.
7:00 PM: AUXCOM/SkyWarn (Amateur Radio Emergency Service and Weather practice combined net.)
The K.I.S.S.(Keep it Simple and Swap net) follows this net.
It is a formal net with the intent of helping hams with problems they are having, sharing information, and
listing "For Sale " items. We will usually have a radio trivia question and perhaps a topic of discussion.

SCARA is active in various events throughout the year. Helping as a public service with communications at various events has been a strong point for our club. We have worked some of these events in conjunction with other radio clubs.
Field day is a big event for us. Over the years, it has provided the opportunity for experienced members ("Elmers") to pass on knowledge and operating expertise to those new in the hobby. Horizons have been opened as new modes and methods are explored. The old and the new blend together. Whatever your interests are, or your experience level is, there is a place for you at Field Day. Give it a try next year. All are welcome.
In January of 2025, our club participated in the national Winter Field Day event. We plan on operating in this event again this year. We will be looking for operators for this outing.Our club has been active during the National and International Amateur Radio Lighthouse-Lightship Weekends in August. Using our club call-sign (K2BR), we have operated from the Absecon Lighthouse in Atlantic City, New Jersey, putting it "on the air" for the first time in 40 years! Click here for more information about ARLHS (Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society. In 2025, we also operated POTA (Parks on the Air) during the lighthouse events .
Public Service, promoting Amateur Radio and learning opppurtunities for our members is what our club has been doing for a very long time. Along the way, many fond memories have been created. Hopefully, some of these memories will be revisited on the pages of this website.
