The Johnston Amateur Radio Society was formed in September of 1975. The "JARS" group has come a long way in its 30 year history. A monthly newsletter is sent to the membership to keep everyone informed of the current events. The Johnston Amateur Radio Society has exclusive rights to call the AK4H repeater home. The repeater is located on the WRAL/WRDC TV tower in Auburn, NC. The repeater is actually owned by the Auburn Repeater Corporation which is comprised of JARS members. Every year the JARS group sponsors a hamfest. JARSFEST is held on the third Sunday in November in Benson, NC. Most meetings are held on the third Thursday of every month currently at the Panther Branch Community center. Special meetings are held three times a year away from our regular meeting location. The special meetings are announced on our Rag-Chew net and on this website. In May we schedule a JARS Presidential Picnic.. The JARS members have supported the Amateur Radio Emergency Services by volunteering their services in almost every disaster that has hit the State of North Carolina since 1975. Rather directly or indirectly involved in the actual disaster JARS members have donated time and use of their personal equipment to the community by providing badly needed communications between the affected areas and Emergency Operations Center. The diversity of their members allows them to operate from the home, car or the area of need. |
