Description:

 The Great River Amateur Radio Club in 2020 sponsered IASPOTA-2020, a year-long celebration of the Iowa State Park Centenial. During the year Iowa hams activated all 71 state parks and made over 3,941 contacts across the US and some foreign countries. The club and Iowa hams made Iowa proud.

The club participates annually in the ARRl Field Day and has at least one special event station, all part of an effort to be on the air and to provide new hams with HF experience.

The club supports two repeaters: W0DBQ 147.240 (PL tone 114.8 moving in April to 103.5) in Dubque County and W0DBQ 147.06 (PL 1148 moving to 103.5 in April) in Jackson County. The latter is at 287" and has a very wide foot print.

The club also supports Dubuque/Jackson County ARES, a very active ARES group that serves public agencies in the two counties.
