[K3CAL] CARA History

[Dennis N3QHC]

Ron,

 

I have some of that information.  The actually start of the club is not in
any paperwork that I have.  However, the founders are;

 

Woody Schwartz /W3ZNW (SK)

Don Liddy/WB3JKV

Gail Griner/W3IRE (SK)

Vince Thrasher/ KB3FS

 

Don, Gail, Vince and Woody have told me the history of CARA.  Just wish I
documented what they said at the time.  There is a chance some may be on the
HD of an old computer I still have.

 

CARA Started cir 1954  

CARA located on Naval Base Chesapeake Beach first with old weather radio
(NOAA) equipment.  Don was Jack's (AB4FO) boss.  In cir 1972 they had to
move from Naval Base to Mt. Hope. Woody purchased repeater a newer repeater
in 1986 (see attached receipt).   I need to find what year the County placed
the 300' tower at MHCC which should not be difficult.  We were on a 100'
tower prior to the higher tower.  

In 1993 I wrote the first club Constitution & By-Laws > using Constitutions
8 By-Laws from SPARC, St. Mary's, Charles ARC, AARC, PG ARC and others.

 

As far as CARA President's and you may have better information - this is
from my memory;

Not 100% sure but think this is fairly actuate.  I do know the order was
n3tzo + kr3a + n3qhc.

 

 

Hope this helps.  I'll email what more I have when I get the opportunity to
dig for it.  It is not a lot.  Also, I have several old newsletters.

 

73, Dennis

Hi Everyone:

 

I am about to update the new About_CARA page for the new website.  Does
anyone have some historical info on the club - its founding, founding
members, dates, etc.?  If someone could furnish me with a writeup that I can
post to the website, it would be very helpful.

 

Thanks,  73
