The Lowndes County Amateur Radio Club (LoCoARC) promotes the amateur radio hobby among it's members and the community. There are active field trips in the spring and fall targeting mobile equipment operation and emergency operation preparedness. Fox hunts, kit builds and antenna parties are held. There is a group gathering of members and guests weekly at 11:00 on Thursdays for lunch and sharing ideas with members and guests at the Lowndes County EOC. A website is maintained by members of our club and other area clubs called "HAMSEATINGCHICKEN.COM" for the promotion of the hobby and sharing ideas concerning hams and area events.
We currently have 3 active repeaters . A 2m net call is conducted each Tuesday night at 7:30 pm on 146.625 with a PL tone of 136.5. All hams are welcome. Also, one of those repeaters is D-STAR enabled.
