GREETINGS Y'ALL FROM COASTAL GEORGIA!

 

Welcome to the Glynn Amateur Radio Association (GARA) website.  GARA is a club of FCC licensed Amateur radio operators located in the Brunswick, Georgia area.  We are also known affectionately as "Hams".  Brunswick is located on  the  southeast Georgia coast situated in Glynn county on the Atlantic Ocean.  Included are Saint Simons Island, Sea Island, and Jekyll Island and this area is often referred to as the "Golden Isles."  Adjoining counties include McIntosh, Wayne, Brantley and Camden counties.

​

The GARA Club owns and operates a 2 meter FM repeater licensed as WX4BWK which is located on the Sidney Lanier Bridge.  GARA conducts a weekly net each Thursday evening at 7pm.  Repeater frequency is 145.330 MHz with a tone of 131.8 Hz.  Duplex offset is negative 600 Hz.  The repeater can also be accessed on Echolink node 903179 (WE8J-R).  The repeater and Net are open to all licensed Hams.  Of course, a license is not required just to listen.

​

GARA Club meetings are held on the second Monday of each month at New China restaurant (meeting area) in Brunswick at 6pm eastern time.  Our Ham "Social" occurs on the last Friday of each month.  Location TBD.   All Hams and those interested in the hobby are invited to attend.
