Don Rankl, N8IVJ, MARC Club President has announced that beginning in February the format of our Club meetings has changed.
Don said, "We have also changed the format of our meetings going forward. The program will be presented first - following the presentation, those who wish to leave may do so, or join us for a short business meeting followed by refreshments." so-
1. Presentation
2. Short Business Meeting (for those who wish to stay)
3. Refreshments and fellowship with other hams!
Moving forward our meeting emphasis will be centered around topics of interest to local hams and learning & education. To accomplish this goal, we are inviting speakers and presenters to our club meetings. Topics each month will be published here and in the club newsletter and Facebook page.
If you would like to recommend a topic, or perhaps present at a meeting, please let us know. You can simply advise one of our club officers or send us an email at club@w8np.net.

As 2022 draws to a close and 2023 is upon us, it’s a great time to reflect upon the fantastic year M.A.R.C. has had! From celebrating new friendships to sharing favorite traditions, we continue to come together to serve our communities; local, national and beyond.
Welcoming the newest member to providing lifetime members a place to belong and learn continues to be our mission.
We hope that our even larger vision is to continue to join together to serve a cause not just of our own but for the greater good of humanity. We can’t think of a better way to pursue that than through amateur radio “disguised” as the Massillon Amateur Radio Club!
“Our” mission doesn’t have to be yours and we look forward to your insight and ideas to help us improve! We appreciate each and every one of you and what you bring to the table.
Join us in congratulating our outgoing President, Don Wade (W8DEA) – He has provided a tremendous spark in spring-boarding us into the future! We are delighted that he has agreed to continue to serve as our Vice President for the upcoming year!
In just a few short months (March 2023) we will embark on our 96th year as an organization! We are not perfect, we are not exclusive, we are not close-minded! We ARE ready, willing and able to look toward the future with excitement and enthusiasm!
We sincerely hope and encourage you to continue to be a part of M.A.R.C. in any way that is enjoyable and rewarding for you! All are welcome!
Happy New Year! The Best Is Yet to Come!
73 – N8IVJ (Don Rankl)

MARC is recognized by the ARRL as a Special Service Club (SSC). You may be wondering, “What is an SSC, and how does this affect me?”
What is a Special Service Club?
A club that exists to go above and beyond for their communities and for Amateur Radio is what defines a Special Service Club (SSC). They are the leaders in their Amateur Radio communities who provide active training classes, publicity programs, and actively pursue technical projects and operating activities.
What about MARC?
As an ARRL Special Service Club, we have met our agreement to develop our skills in specified areas during the past two years in accordance with the guidelines in the ARRL SSC Active Club On-Line Primer.
We have worked closely with our Affiliated Club Coordinator throughout the year to develop these skills. We schedule regular, active training classes to help prospective hams study to pass their required FCC license testing. We have a recently improved publicity program to educate the community with regards to our function.
We have club members who actively pursue technical projects and operating activities. We sponsor and participate in important ARRL and hobby related events such as Field Day.
Bottom Line
