The Central Massachusetts Amateur Radio Association welcomes all amateur radio hobbyists and those interested in learning about amateur radio in the Central Massachusetts area. We have a great group of dedicated members who are very friendly and always ready to help a new ham get started in becoming a part of our community.
Our club is here to:
- Create and maintain friendly relationships among those persons interested in amateur radio
- Promote and foster interest in and knowledge of amateur radio to both our members and the general public through discussions, presentations, and training events
- Engage in public service volunteering involving amateur radio including both emergency situations such as severe weather reporting as well as planned events such as in support of communications at marathons, triathlons, or parades
- Help facilitate the sale and trade of amateur radio equipment between our members as their needs and wants in amateur radio evolve
- Organize operating events for our members such as Field Day, Parks on the Air, etc.

Sutton Chain of Lights 2025
The Sutton Chain of Lights is again requesting assistance with communications to coordinate the trolleys for their annual event. We’re looking for about 15 ham radio operators to ride the trolleys and help keep them on schedule moving people around between stops.
We will meet at 8:30 am on Sat December 6th in Sutton (location TBD – likely the Sutton High School). The event runs from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, although the final trolley drop off may be as late as 5:00 pm.
If you are only available for part of the day, we can cycle you in and out as necessary. Please indicate availability in the comments section of the form.
If you are available to help out, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/E8uj8sEbE7ReVCpN6
Thanks!

Whitman Open House and Promo Day
All are invited to attend this open house. This event had to be postponed back a week later, but this is now a firm schedule.
WARC (WA1NPO) is quite a vibrant Club with lots of things going on. Many, many Nets per week. They’re a bit smaller than CMARA, but very active in the Community.
