- The Natchaug Amateur Radio Club is a non-profit
organization. We enjoy all aspects of the Amateur Radio hobby. Our members are principally located in Eastern Connecticut.
- HAMFEST:
For over 30 years, we have sponsored the Hartford Hamfest, which is customarily held at the end of May at the UCONN Tolland County Agricultural Center, 24 Hyde Avenue ~ Vernon, CT 06066 (Rt 30, near exit 67 on I
84). Details on the hamfest are available at http://hamfest.na1rc.org

month at the Mansfield Town Hall on Route 195 in Storrs, CT.
(Near the UCONN campus) All are welcome. The meeting on the
first Wednesday is social, while business is conducted on the third
Wednesday.

- FIELD DAY:
We are avid Field Day operators. For the past several years
we have been operating stations from HF through UHF from the pavillion
in the Lion's Club Memorial Park near Mansfield Hollow. (Route 89, about
1 mile from the intersection of Routes 195 and 89, near the picturesque town landfill!) The
entrance road is "Park Road" on the following Google map; bear to the right about 100m in to get
to the pavillion. It may be helpful to zoom in to see the layout of the fields. The marker is
just at the edge of the parking area near the pavillion. The pavillion is on higher ground than the
surrounding fields, which allows for some truly monstrous wire antennas for those so inclined.

- REPEATER:
We operate a repeater located in Lebanon, CT. The
NA1RC repeater is on 147.3 MHz, + offset, 77.0 PL
- NETS:
For many years some members have
joined in an informal SSB net on 3835 or 3832 kHz at 7:30 pm Eastern time
(summer),
and 1865 kHz at 7:00 pm during the remainder of the year. (As QRN permits) Please feel free to
join us. Recent operations have been on 3832 to avoid interference to a 4-land net on 3835.
