About Us

  Founded in 1978, the Lake County Amateur Radio Association is a group of FCC licensed Amateur Radio Operators. As a 501(c)(3) not for profit charitable organization, our mission is to foster the advancement of Amateur Radio through mentoring, testing, and public service. We are affiliated with the American Radio Relay League, and are a Special Service Club. We sponsor VE testing, ARES and Sky Warn activities serving Lake County and the surrounding area.

    We own, operate and maintain three FM repeaters that cover the Lake County area, using our club call-sign N8BC.  Some of our on air activities include weekly VHF and HF nets, annual events such as NVIS Day, ARRL Field Day, OSPOTA, and other public service events. Our ARES team works with the Emergency Management Agency of Lake County, and is available to assist in the event of disaster, emergency or with other public service needs when asked.

    Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 pm. You do not have to be a member nor a licensed ham to attend. Should you wish to join our club, an application form is available for download from this site under “Membership”.

  If you have any questions or comments, use the “Contact Us” tab.
