The Boston Amateur Radio Club is a relatively new club.  It was founded in
1989 by a few hams in the Red Cross and has grown to a membership of
approximately 225.  The club meets on the third Wednesday of every month
at the Lotus Corporation on First St. in Cambridge.  Each monthly meeting
features a guest speaker who presents a different aspect of the hobby or a
topic of interest to the membership.  At every meeting members are available
to answer any question you might have about amateur radio. The club also
maintains a resource list of hams who are willing to help hams interested a
particular aspect of the hobby such as satellites, digital mode, Morse Code,
computers and much more.

Dues for membership is $20.00 per year. Dues for family members not
receiving club mailings are $10.00 per year.  The club also publishes a
monthly newsletter currently known as "The SPARC" which every member
receives.
