Welcome to Northern Maine

radio-towerThe St. John Valley Amateur Radio Association (N1SJV) is an ARRL recognized amateur “ham” radio club located in Aroostook County, Maine along the Saint John River.  In addition to serving the local and international amateur radio community, the SJVARA has been providing communication for emergencies, special community events and other organized activities since 1991.

Here in the St. John Valley winter antenna work and radio communication is considered an extreme sport. One of our most challenging events is the Can-Am Crown International Sled Dog Race, which takes place each year in early March. The race requires numerous ham and other community volunteers along with use of the club’s VHF radio equipment.

Our club hosts an open weekly radio net on Mondays at 7:00 PM local time on 146.640 MHz.

Since gatherings are still discouraged and it doesn’t look like they will be back any time soon, I’ve decided to put together some online classes. If any of the topics sound interesting check them off. If there is enough interest I will put together a sign up sheet and get the ball rolling. If you have any questions feel free to contact me (coolman1987us@gmail.com). Again, check any and all topics that you would like to learn more about. You DO NOT have to be a member to join these classes. Click here or on the title above to fill out the form. -kb1zpp
