SCARA News
SCARA VHF Net
SCARA has a weekly VHF net on the K2BR 2 meter repeater (146.745 MHz – offset, PL 146.2 Hz). The net is held every Thursday at 7:00 PM. Net control stations will be KC2ZJW, KC2TYZ and KC2AAY. Other members are encouraged to volunteer as NCS. It will be a formal net with the intent of furthering the hobby, helping hams with problems and questions, sharing information, and a swap shop. Membership in SCARA is not required to participate in this net.
SCARA HF Net
SCARA runs an HF net on the third Sunday of every month at 10:00 A.M. Eastern time on 3.928 MHz + or - QRM. Our first net was held on March 17, 2002. Over the years, we have logged many contacts on the net. All licensed amateurs with operating priviledges on the net frequency are welcome to join us. The club call sign is used by the net control station and QSL cards from K2BR are available. We are looking for volunteers to be net control operators. Contact Larry, KB2MN, if you would like to be NCS for one month or more.

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.
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! The coordinator for this event is Ed Clark, W2KP. Click here for more information about ARLHS (Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society).
To sum things up, Public Service and promoting Amateur Radio is what our club has been doing for a 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.
