LATEST NEWS

  • Welcome to the Camden County Amateur Radio Society (CCARS).
    Please take a few minutes and explore our website. Here you will find information about our club and other pages loaded with 'radio-active' information. Feel free to reach out to one of our club officers, listed at lower left and on our Equipment Swap page, if you have any questions regarding club membership.

  • Please note the change of venue for this quarter's 'Eating Meeting'. We will be dining @ KARV Bistro, 102 Marsh Harbor Pkwy, in Kingsland @ 6:00PM. Hope to see you there! (03/05/25)

  • For returning members; last call for annual dues. Membership benefits include email updates for all club activities and access to our Members Only area. Please remit your dues for 2025 by end of March! (03/05/25)

  • Georgia ARES has been working for a number of years to provide statewide D-Star coverage. D-Star Repeater N4CGH is now ON THE AIR in Waverly! VHF access is DV 145.1200 (-.600) and is linked to REF003A. UHF access is DV 442.0125 (+5.000) and can be linked/unlinked by users. (03/05/25)

  • The long awaited installation of the HF-NVIS antenna at the Camden Campus of SGHS is finally complete. Now that Auxcomm stations for both Brunswick and Kingsland campuses are on the air, they need experienced operators. Camden County ARES is looking towards training Camden Campus hospital staff as primary station operators but your help is needed until such time that we have trained operators. Please contact Raymond, K1JHH if you are interested in assisting with this effort. (03/05/25)

  • KB4CC, the Club's Yaesu DR-1X Fusion Repeater, continues to operate with both Analog & C4FM System Fusion capabilities. The system is set for Auto-mode on both receive & transmit (analog in - analog out, digital in - digital out). Analog output PL is still 118.8 if you do not wish to hear digital traffic. There is no special code needed to access the digital mode. (11/04/23)

  • Our Tech Sessions continue to bring questions regarding programming for Digital Mobile Radio (DMR). Your best starting point is right here: The DMR-SE CBridge Network. (08/29/24)

  • We are grateful to Camden County EMA for allowing us use of the EOC for these Tech Sessions. Camden County ARES is continuoously looking for operators to become trained in EOC operations to assist with staffing the station KN4AFG during events. Operators, you do not have to be a member of any club to participate in ARES activities!. Please contact K1JHH for further information.

  • Our License Exams Page now provides a link to an online study and testing system that a number of our Club VEs assist with. Check it out ! (11/20/23)

  • This area of the state is still in much need of VHF or UHF Winlink EMail gateways!!. If you look at a map of available stations, Coastal Georgia is empty! They are easier to set up that you might think. Go to www.winlink.org for more information

  • Why not visit the CCARS Buy-Sell-Swap Forum where local hams can offer gear for sale & trade, or just find stuff you need. Registration and listings are always free. Use the link in the menu to the left or click here: CCARS Tailgate

  • And be sure to check out our LINKS PAGE - Recently Updated!! The page lists links to dozens of calculators, antenna analysis software, parts and equipment dealers, reference sources, and tons of other radio & electronics related stuff. It even has a dedicated page of links to radio related apps for your Android smart phone. Check it out here: ANDROID APPS
