General purpose: Field Day - Public Service Events - VE Sessions - Socializing

The Montachusett Amateur Radio Association (MARA) is an ARRL-affiliated club serving the Montachusett region of Massachusetts. Our mission is to promote amateur radio by fostering education, experimentation, public service, and fellowship among both new and experienced operators.

We meet on the second Wednesday of each month (except July and August) to share knowledge, plan activities, and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow hams.

MARA members regularly participate in ARRL Field Day, public service events, emergency communications support, and club nets. We also offer opportunities for mentoring, technical projects, and community outreach to help both newcomers and seasoned operators stay active and engaged.

Whether you’re newly licensed or an experienced amateur, MARA offers a welcoming environment to learn, operate, and keep amateur radio thriving in our region.
