Welcome to the BAARC (Brainerd Area Amateur Radio Club), an ARRL Special Service Club!
For those not familiar with Brainerd, the city is located just north of the exact geographical center of the State of Minnesota in the USA. Driving distance to Minneapolis/St. Paul is 125 miles. It is 120 miles to Duluth, and 160 miles to Fargo/Moorhead. Brainerd is at the intersection of Highways 210 and 371.
Meetings are normally held the last Thursday of every month at 7 PM at the Brainerd Fire Department. Members also meet informally at 9 AM for breakfast and chatter on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays each month. Anyone interested in Amateur Radio is welcome to attend any of the meetings. All Amateur Radio Operators are encouraged to check in on the 8 PM Sunday 147.225+ Net.
Our club is comprised of about 90 members from various backgrounds. We all share our interest in the hobby of amateur radio with its many facets. Some of us enjoy public service (community events, weather watches, etc). Others like to work DX (world-wide) using CW (Morse code), radio teletype, amateur TV, or voice. Still others prefer the two meter aspect of communication locally via the Club’s VHF and UHF analog/digital repeaters.
More information on the Brainerd Area Amateur Radio Club and our activities can be found on our club website at brainerdham.org.
73's and thanks for visiting!
