Club Meetings

When: 4th Monday of each month at 7:00 pm
We do meet at 6:30 pm for some social/mentoring time.
(No Meetings in July, August, and December).

Where: The Livonia Civic Center Library in the meeting rooms on the east wing of the foyer. (We are not meeting here at this time due to the COVID Shutdown.)

Club meetings follow a standard format and last about an hour and a half. Often a presentation is given by a club member on a current or relevant topic to amateur radio.

Refreshments are offered during a short break. As a courtesy to our members and speakers, we ask that you arrive a few minutes prior to the start of the meeting. ​

LARC Slow speed CW net

The LARC slow speed CW net is currently on indefinite hold at this time. This is due to a drop in attendance/interest.

LARC in the Park

LARC members gather on the second Saturday of each month to spend a bit of time outdoors enjoying various aspects of our hobby (with the exception of the winter months when we meet indoors). See our LARC in the Park page HERE for more information.

LARC Monthly Newsletter

If you somehow have missed reading our newsletters, then you’re definitely missing out!  Our editor, Sandy Allen KD8UTR, does a remarkable job each and every month compiling local information, interesting and useful stories as well as tons of data on current and upcoming events, training, contests, and hamfests.  We keep the last 3 years of the Repeater on the website under the LARC Newsletter menu.
