This website is owned and operated by the Upstate Carolina Amateur Radio Society in Seneca, South Carolina. Please enjoy your stay, and if you have any comments or questions please contact us. Keep in mind that we do not own or operate any repeaters, and are guests on the repeaters that we use. So please when checking in to our nets to use the highest protocol, and good amateur practice when checking in.

We are a group of amateurs who share the same interests, and enjoy operating and the commaraderie of amateur radio. We seek individuals who share the same. We also wish to invite any and all new and old hams alike who wish to join us for the fun that is amateur radio.

UCARS had it's mini field day on April 14th, and we had a really fun day, and a great time was had. Good food, good friends, and ham radio is a great way to spend a day. Here are a few photos to look at. Click the thumbnails and see the larger photo. The last photo is the antenna (not the one we used actually, but one like it) that we were all so enthusiastic about.

The 442.775 AE4PZ repeater which we call our 70 CM net on Saturday nights will be linked up with other repeaters very soon. This will certainly increase our coverage as well as our net count.

The Pickens County Communications Group and WR4XM would like us to pass this information along to interested Hams. The  Pickens County Communications Group have a net on the 442.400 repeater which is linked to the 147.195 and 53.410 and Echolink node 4031 repeaters each Thursday night at 7:30pm, and a new net TARG FRIENDSHIP NET is on 441.800 repeater PL 110.9 Six Mile Mt. which is linked to 444.825 PL 162.2 in Greenwood every Monday night at 8:00pm. All Amateurs are welcome to check in.  New repeaters that are up and running: 443.7125 PL127.3 in Anderson, 444.350 PL127.3 Glassy Mt, 443.450 PL110.9 Glassy Mt, 441.875 PL110.9 Six Mile.

We have added something that may be of interest to our club members as well as guest's to the site. We have searched the internet for some of the best, and most informative video's we can find and put them up on the site. If you know of some more please let us know so we can share with others as we build up the video library of the site. Of course if you have made one that would even be better, we would love to put that up as well. See the videos here.

Here are some upcoming contests dates that maybe of some interest to our members. All contests have their websites linked so you can click and check it out. This is not a definitive list of everything that is out there. For a more in depth list click here.
