The Mount Diablo Amateur Radio Club (MDARC)
was founded in 1946. Today it has a membership of over 300 dedicated hams
and is one of the largest
amateur radio clubs in California.
MDARC's
purpose is to encourage innovation in
amateur radio, provide public service and
educational opportunities, foster good will within our community, and have fun in the
process.
MDARC provides a wide variety of programs
and activities for its members. These include hosting and staffing
PACIFICON
(ARRL Pacific Division convention) each
October, bringing in great speakers and offering ham radio classes to the public. Our annual picnic,
holiday party and radio equipment auction are all enjoyable events!
