Some History and Backround
The Club was named a "Special Service Club" in 1994 because of its emergency
communications programs and participation in the ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency
Services), as well as its community involvement, technical education classes,
and new ham recruitment and training. "Hams" are radio hobbyists licensed by the
Federal Communications Commission to experiment with and operate radios on
certain specifically assigned frequencies. Under certain conditions, hams are
able to communicate worldwide with small portable radio stations, and are known
SCARC members volunteer and support our Local Schools, Fire and Police departments. In emergencies, we assist with the EOC (emergency Operations Centers). In 1994 a team of SCARC members supported the Entiat Fires of Eastern Washington and during 2006-2007 winter, club members assisted the EOC and Red Cross with communications at various locations around the community. These are just some of the emergency events the SCARC supported! The club has sponsored a scholarship fund for many years helping young hams advance their education. Ham radio education and certified volunteer examiners help advance the hobby by assist those who wish to obtain a license. In 2008, the club helped commemorate the opening of the Cama Beach State Park on Camano Island by operating a Special Event radio station with the callsign K7P. Members of the SCARC along with members of the BEARONs club manned the station for a two-day event. |
