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 on our Equipment Swap page, if you have any questions regarding club membership.

  • Please note the change of venue for our quarterly 'Eating Meetings'. We are trying new restaurants so please see our Events Calendar for Dates & Times. Hope to see you there! (08/29/24)

  • 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)

  • Georgia ARES (GA-ARES) has been working for a number of years to provide DStar coverage over most of the state. Installation of the VHF/UHF D-Star Repeater in Waverly is nearing completion and should be undergoing testing soon! Stay tuned for updates!. (08/29/24)

  • Local Repeater Updates: In case you missed it; the Glynn Amateur Radio Association (GARA Club) has a new repeater!. WX4BWK, high atop the Sidney Lanier bridge is still 145.330 and now has impressive coverage! See our 'Local Repeaters' page for further information.(08/29/24)

  • Also 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)

  • We are grateful to Camden County EMA for allowing us use of the EOC for our Tech Sessions. Camden County ARES is 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
