The Cumberland Amateur Radio Club (CARC) was established by a volunteer group of amateur radio operators to provide and further social, public, emergency and educational activities in the field of communications.

The club was formed in 1964 and is the oldest amateur radio club in Cumberland County. It is a general interest club serving Cumberland, and surrounding south central Pennsylvania counties.

The club first became an ARRL affiliated club in June 1971.

The club call, K3IEC was adopted in 1968.

Our meetings are open to all amateur radio operators and prospective amateurs.  Meetings are held the third (3rd) Wednesday of each month at various locations near Carlisle and Harrisburg, PA.  Meetings start at 7:30 PM.  Please contact any officer for further information:  location of next meeting,  a membership application, or general information about the club.

Next Month’s Topic

Warm-up sharing will center around events from July 16th.

“How many TOTAL years do our 32 members have in their HAM radio licenses?”  This necessitated a bit of research such as going to QRZ.com, calling each member to find out when they received their first license, or using your personal knowledge of that person.  Guesses were collected and added to the ones received by e-mail.  Guesses ranged from 550 – 1525 years.  The official tally is 829 years, and Garry, K3EYK, came closest with 795 years.  Research showed that Royal ,W3ZIF, has the longest running ticket with 53 years.  Jim, K3MSH, has had his for 47 years and Dave, W3RY, since 1958, and Dave, W3SOX, since 1959.  CARC certainly has a lot of experience in HAM radio.
