Welcome!

The Shelby County Amateur Radio Club (SCARC) meets on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. Our doors open at 6:00 pm for socializing. The meeting begins at 6:30 with the presentation starting right afterward.

Our first meeting in November will be a dinner meeting at El Patron, 2991 Highway 95, Helena, AL 35080. If you plan to attend and have not already RSVPed please do so by using the Contact Us email to let us know how many will be attending. Be aware that you are responsible for the cost of your own meal. We will also have a Zoom meeting for the business portion of the meeting, but there will not be a formal presentation.

Note there will not be a second meeting in November as it conflicts with Thanksgiving.

Be sure to check out our meeting minutes page for all the news, join us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, join our Slack group, and subscribe to our e-mail list.

In addition to the in person meetings, we also meet over the Zoom software. We send out the link in every e-mail meeting reminder, use the "Sign up for SCARC e-mail updates" link below to sign up for our newsletter. You can also use the Contact Us at the bottom or our Slack group to get the link.

Visitors are always welcome!
