Whether you're a licensed ham or just curious about the hobby, AARC is a community of neighbors committed to emergency communications, public service, and the pure joy of radio.
When phone lines and internet fail, amateur radio operators step up. AARC members serve as a vital communications backbone for Alamance County during disasters and emergencies.
From our weekly Sunday evening net to monthly meetings, AARC is a place where hams of all experience levels come together to learn, share, and grow in the hobby.
Amateur radio spans HF DXing, satellite operation, digital modes, antenna building, and more. Our experienced members — Elmers — love helping newcomers explore every corner of the hobby.
The Alamance Amateur Radio Club has been a fixture of the Burlington community for more than five decades. What started as a handful of radio enthusiasts meeting in living rooms has grown into an active club with members spanning every corner of the county.
We hold our meetings monthly, participate in ARRL Field Day each June, support local public service events, and maintain the K4EG repeater for the benefit of all amateur radio operators in the area.
