Are you considering becoming a Ham Operator?
Becoming a Ham Operator has several advantages, such as:
-
Emergency Communications: During natural disasters or emergencies, amateur radio operators can provide communication when traditional communication methods are down.
-
Technology: It is a great way to get hands-on experience with radio and communication technology.
-
Ham radio operators can join clubs or groups where they can meet like-minded people and participate in events and contests.
-
Personal Development: It also builds skills such as communication, problem-solving, and technical expertise.
Amateur Radio is an exciting hobby that continues to grow in popularity. It provides opportunities for personal growth, education, and building relationships with people all over the world.
Join the Massillon Amateur Radio Club on the first Friday of each month for our monthly get together! And for more information about our club visit our Facebook page or email:

This is what it’s all about!
Once again, our organization rose to the challenge of participating in 2024’s ARRL Field Day. With downright obnoxious weather and temperatures, the mission was still accomplished.
Despite the more than uncomfortable circumstances, we had an unbelievable turnout of friends, visitors and members. More than 60 of you chose to be a part of this event! We welcomed quite a few new faces.
Many had the opportunity to “Get On The Air” (GOTA) for the very first time. New friendships were discovered. Old friendship were strengthened and renewed. And, as always, we continued to learn new ways of improving our skills in “emergency communications.”
All of the technical stuff aside the continued, strong support of MARC made Field Day a grand event for our organization! The smiles, laughter, and camaraderie were the icing on the cake!
I can’t say enough about our Field Day Chairman, Ryan Brown, (KE8SDQ). Ryan spent many months planning all of the specific details behind the scenes, and left no stone unturned. Everything Ryan does is without fanfare or drama. He just gets the job done. His many years of military service were put to good use.
Don’t forget Jane Brown (Ryan’s wife). She may have been the most unnoticed hero of our weekend! Jane took care of feeding everyone, made countless trips to gather supplies and even had our Saturday meal ready to go ahead of schedule!! She has unending energy and brightens up the place anytime she is around.
A very special word of thanks to each and every one of you for making MARC a really neat organization to hang around and enjoy. I am humbled by your contributions of time and talent!
Plans are already in motion for ARRL Field Day 2025! Let us know if you’d like to be on the Field Day Committee. We welcome your insight and new ideas. We’re always looking at ways to improve every year.

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.
