Welcome to the BARC web site. 

   Our club was formed in the mid 60's, by Lloyd Crawford, Myrlas Mathews, Joe Swaford, and others.

   The club incorporated in 2001 as a non-profit organization, and enacted a constitution as our governing law.

   Our purpose is to further the exchange of information and cooperation between members, to

   promote radio knowledge, fraternalism and individual operating efficiency, and to so conduct

   club programs and activities as to advance the general interest and welfare of Amateur Radio

   in the community.

   We train together through radio nets, meetings, and periodic classes, to better our operating 

   efficiency, and skills in message traffic, and weather watching. We strive to be able

   to provide special radio operations, disaster relief, and emergency communications should the

   need arise.

   We endeavor to support our community, state, and nation, where the need presents itself.

Repeater Etiquette      Guidelines for using the repeaters.

1. Listen first to see if anyone else is using the frequency.
2. If someone is using the freq. wait for a pause between transmissions, or, wait for them to finish.
3. Give your callsign, and wait to be acknowledged.
4. When you have been acknowledged, ask permission to call someone, give the callsign whom you are calling and your callsign.
5. Use plain language no codes (Q's and 10's) have their place, just not here.
6. Keep it clean, if you wouldn't say it in church, don't say it on the radio.
7. Be mindful of other operators, treat them the way you would like to be treated.
