The HCRA is a friendly group of hams that are active in all levels of ham radio. Whether your interest is general radio, operating, contests, low power, building kits, home brew, HF, VHF, UHF, POTA and SOTA, Fox Hunting, ham classes, social or anything else. This is the club for you.
Whether a new ham or an experienced old one, the club meetings offer something for everyone. Visit the web site or contact one of the members for more info. There is also a active facebook page too.
We hold a Monday night 10m net at 7:00pm local time on 28.375 that is open to all hams. Come join us!
We meet in person and also hold some specialty zoom meetings that have been recorded for you to view. The video links are on the www.hcra.org website. Our current meetings are held at Holyoke Hospital at 7:30 the first Friday of every month except December. There are no meetings in July and August.
During the Winter months we hold Share The Knowledge sessions twice a month on topics of interest to all Hams. These are announced in advance on the club's website (HCRA.org) and are also archived for later viewing on the website. These are held on Zoom.
The HCRA has been affiliated with the ARRL for 75 years and are a Special Service Club.
We look forward to meeting you!
