Description:

 

The Mound Amateur Radio Association (MARA) was started in 1962 at the then Monsanto Mound Laboratory in Miamisburg Ohio. Until the early eighties members had to be Lab employees. We had 3 repeaters 145.330 - No PL, 147.195 + No PL currently but a new repeater is coming and will have PL. 443.000 + PL encode and decode 88.5 analog and DMR CC 9 314405 TG TS2 is our chat group. 3139 and 31394 are Static TGs on TS1. 

 

We have a weekly net on one of the two VHF repeaters at 1900 local. 147.195 the first 2 Mondays of the month and 145.330 the remaining Mondays. Each of those nets is followed by a DMR net.

 

We actively support community activities with communications, such as triathlons, parades, foot races, and other events. MARA also supports two local hospitals with emergency backup communications and is active in our county’s ARES.

 

MARA currently does not have an active class or testing program for new licensees but is more than will to mentor any interested party.
