Membership is open to
everyone, and you need not be a licensed amateur radio operator. If you are a non-ham, you will receive plenty
of encouragement to pursue a license.
Ham or not, you will thoroughly enjoy the activities and the fellowship of
the community of amateur radio operators.
We publish a monthly
newsletter called, "The Propagator.”
If you have the Adobe Acrobat Reader, you may view a recent edition,
click on recent issue. If you don't have the reader, you can get a

Our current members are
some of the best in the area. Our deceased members
were also some of the best, and we honor them today. Please see our Silent Key Page. Bob Buus, W2OD, and Ed Kracum,
WB2COP (SK), worked hard at getting the original list together, and while they
were at it they also put together a list that honors our past presidents (and
our current president). View that list by clicking "Presidents".
Please do come to our next meeting; and you might think about filling out this "GSARA Application Form" and taking it with you. What a great idea! If you wish to join by USMail, the mailing instructions are on the above application form. The application form is a PDF file and requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don't have the reader, you can get a free copy of the latest version from Adobe. Whether you are an existing member or someone just looking, you might care to view our Constitution and ByLaws, a 6-page PDF file. After you study the constitution you may want to become our next president!

Tremendous thanks go to the 12 or so people that

driving force for the whole project, stayed at the site for the duration of the
event, and did his share of operating and logging. Particular thanks go to Jim, K2EI for the use
of his 1000-Foot Loop Antenna, Tuner, Radio, and Generator.
Next is Frank, W2XYZ for bringing his generator as a back up for
us. Also Joe, W2KQ who supplied our CW
station. And a Very Special Thanks to Howard , W2HTS for arranging for
the Fort Monmouth Fire Company to help us get our loop antenna up. All those attending worked well
together. Other well deserved thanks
also go to Kevin W2FA Club Vice President/Operator/Logger, Bob W2OD Club
Secretary/Logger, Howard W2HTS Operator/Logger, Bruce K2QXW CW Operator/Logger, Frank W2XYZ CW
