The Marion Amateur Radio Club (MARC) has been operating in Marion, Ohio since 1962. We meet the second Monday of each month, 7:00PM at our clubhouse on Marion County Fairgrounds during the months of September through May.
Our membership consists of both, licensed and non licensed volunteers who are dedicated to the promotion and support of the Amateur Radio Service. We volunteer our services to those in need of our skills, and help foster a new core of volunteers interested in communications, electronics, physics, mathematics and civil service.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
We stand ready to assist, educate, and serve our communities and our Country in its time of need with emergency communications. We help other organizations with communications and logistics, by using Amateur Radio Communications to promote the Amateur Radio Service.
