The Matanuska Amateur Radio Association (M.A.R.A.) is a general interest amateur radio club, with approximately 100 members, our members are involved in every aspect of amateur radio. We make a special effort to participate in providing communications support for public service events, field days, marathons, sled dog and snow machine races, avalanche rescues, and wild land fires. MARA hosts an annual ham fest in the spring. Several club members volunteer their time to teach classes for those who wish to obtain an amateur (ham) radio license or upgrade their license privileges, with FCC Volunteer Examiners scheduling exams regularly. The club owns and operates a repeater under its call sign KL7JFU, 146.850/.250 mhz and is located at KL7VE's QTH. We also own and operate a Packet Node with the call sign KL7JFU-2, (alias Valley), 147.960 mhz simplex and is located at KL7LL's QTH. The repeater and node are open for all licensed amateurs and are home to many nets in the area. The club has a long history of community service and promotion of ham radio in the community and the State of Alaska. M.A.R.A. P.O. Box 873131 Wasilla, AK. 99687-3131 |
