Description:

 The Carolina Amateur Radio Club is a service-oriented club and has been in existence for more than 40 years. Originally known as the Carolina Repeater Society, it was an offshoot of the Palmetto Amateur Radio Club (which is the oldest South Carolina amateur radio club, having been founded in 1928 on “the Horseshoe” at the University of South Carolina).

Around 1976 the club name was changed to the Columbia Amateur Radio Club to include a broader range of interests, not just repeaters. From the beginning the club was active in promoting amateur radio, giving classes for new hams, and maintaining a testing team.

We promote the amateur radio hobby through:

  1. Monthly meetings
  2. Monthly workshops
  3. Quarterly license training & testing sessions
  4. Providing routine communications for local events
  5. Providing emergency communications during weather events or local emergencies
