Come for the radio.
Stay for the people.
GSARA brings together amateur radio operators, newcomers and people who are simply curious about the hobby throughout Southern New Hampshire.
If you've spent some time with us and you're ready to become part of the club, we'd be glad to have you.
Still getting to know us? That's okay. Come to a meeting, breakfast or club activity first. You don't need to join before you participate.
Get on the air.
Amateur radio is better
when you have people
to do it with.
You don't need a club to be an amateur radio operator. But having a community around you can make the hobby a lot more interesting.
GSARA gives you people to learn from, opportunities to get on the air, new things to try and a place to share what you've learned along the way.
Find your
radio people.
Meet operators with different interests, experience and backgrounds who all have amateur radio in common.
Keep figuring
things out.
Learn through presentations, conversations, mentoring, demonstrations and members sharing what they've discovered.
Get out and
get on the air.
Join club operating activities, portable events, Field Days and other opportunities to actually use the hobby.
Bring something
to the club.
Help at an event, share a project, mentor another operator or simply lend a hand when something needs to get done.
It's about being part of it.
Some members have decades of experience. Others are figuring out their first radio. What matters is an interest in amateur radio and a willingness to be part of the community.
There's room for you
in amateur radio.
GSARA is made up of people with different interests, different levels of experience and different reasons for enjoying amateur radio.
You don't need decades of experience or a room full of equipment to become part of the community.
