Welcome to the Milam Amateur Radio Club, M.A.R.C. website:
This is a small club based out of Rockdale, TX but we are growing fast!
M.A.R.C. likes to participate in several events including ARRL's Field Day as well as the Winter Field Day.
We recently upgraded the Rockdale and the Davilla repeaters to Yaesu DR-2X repeaters and changed over to DB224-E antennas.
We welcome all visitors no matter what your passion for the hobby is! There will always be a place at our table for you.
