The purposes of this club are:
(1) to promote, protect and enhance the hobby of amateur radio experimentation and operation;
(2) to advance the state of radio art;
(3) to foster education in radio communications;
(4) to establish operating, training and testing facilities for all persons interested in amateur radio communications;
(5) to promote and support the Stanwood-Camano Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES);

Some SCARC club members monitor 147.57 MHz and the Club's repeater (see below). Any ham is welcome to join in the general conversation.
A directed "net" meeting is held every Monday night beginning about 20:10 (following the ARES net which meets at 20:00 (8:00 PM) on 147.57 simplex). The club operates a repeater located at the north end of Camano Island at an elevation of approximately 500 feet. Frequency information below. The call sign is: W7PIG.
Our club members have a wide variety of interests including public service, disaster preparedness, working "DX" or distant stations, electronic construction and experimentation, low power operation (aka QRP), amateur satellite communications, etc.
