Welcome to MARC

W8KEA is the Amateur Radio call sign assigned to the Midland Amateur Radio Club (MARC) by the Federal Communications Commission.  MARC, established in 1948, holds monthly meetings of its 70+ members at 7:30 pm on the first Thursday of every month at the Salvation Army Building, 330 S. Waldo Ave., Midland, Michigan.  MARC is dedicated to the support of the Amateur Radio community in the Midland area, to providing public service and emergency communications to the community and to educating the public in all aspects of Amateur Radio.  MARC provides communications support for community events such as the annual Dow Run and the MS Walk on a completely voluntary basis.  MARC also works closely with the Midland County Department of Emergency Services, the Red Cross and the Salvation Army to provide voluntary emergency communications support in times of emergency, disaster or severe weather event.  MARC offers classes to anyone interested in earning an Amateur Radio License. 

MARC also offers examination sessions so you can take your FCC examination here in Midland.  MARC advisors lead the Electronics and Wireless Communications Clubs at the Northeast Middle School, Jefferson Middle School and Midland High School.
