RARA is a volunteer run organization of individuals donating their time each month to develop activities, maintain repeaters, nets, and education.

Planning is underway for events and club meeting programs. Please put the following dates on your calendars:

Swap Meet &Social at Hononegah Forest Preserve, Rockton IL. Sunday, May 18, 2025 9am-noon This is a bare bones event and time to bring items you may want to swap or sell and a good opportunity to just hang out with other hams.

Summer Field Day at Camp Winnebago, Sat & Sun, June 28-29, 2025 Field Day is ham radio's open house. Every June, more than 40,000 hams throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio's science, skill and service to our communities and our nation. It combines public service, emergency preparedness, community outreach, and technical skills all in a single event.

RARA Family Picnic and 70th Anniversary Celebration, Hononegah Forest Preserve,  Saturday, September 13, 2025  11am-until we go home!  Food Fun, Special Event Station.
