Welcome!

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.

  • 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.
