Happy for them. Must be tough to be such a small club and have no resources to do such ...... oh wait a minute - that's my club I'm thinking of. With only 50-75 members on the roster (lucky if 30 show up at a meeting), we can only dream of a 'club house'. We meet in the 65 year old, renovated old Town Hall (ex-USO Club building) that we have to rent for our meetings each month. And we have NO club station, only a callsign.

Congratulations to DARA. I'm envious! Our club meets at the local KFC and only dreams of having a club station one day....but it's something for us all to work for. Looking forward to hearing them on the air....and to making the trip to their world-class hamfest next year!

It's good that you meet once a month. When I move to California & join a club if I will use my HT I am very lucky if they will here me. The repeater frequency is too busy. You can use your HT at midnight to dawn. after more than ten years nobody use the repeater. Everybody is gone to other hobby.

When I was a member of DARA back in the early 90's they had a nice station at the top of a hill (or what passes for a hill in Dayton!) with lots of large towers scattered about. I would go right by it on my way to Hara from my house (or the mall down the street...). Back then, what passed for buildings were mostly shacks. It should be a nice facility.
DARA would be, IMHO, the premier Ham club in the US.
The US is based on Capitalism.
Not Socialism or Communism.
