Introduction
The Shreveport Amateur Radio Association, has provided
northwest Louisiana amateur radio operators with a place to operate, experiment,
and explore the hobby and sometime sport of amateur radio. At the left,
Robert (K5REF) works on the tower and rotor for ARRL Field Day, W5E
celebrated the 60 anniversary of the final European bombing mission of the
Mighty 8th Air Force during World War II, and a Boy Scout operating digital
modes during Jamboree on the Air.Other favorite activities include VHF fox hunting, ARRL Phone and CW Sweepstakes, chasing DX, antenna experimentation, homebrew projects, and QRP/QRO. However the most important aspect of SARA is helping one another build, buy, select or setup amateur station.
SARA operates four area repeaters to help amateurs keep in touch locally and hosts a monthly meeting featuring a guest speaker on one of the many aspects of amateur radio. Meetings usually end with everyone meeting at a local eatery to discuss personal plans and visions.
