Sturdy Memorial Hospital Amateur Radio Club

Apologies...

I have emailed some people at the Sturdy Memorial Hospital ARC and asked for some new material. I, myself, have been off the air and basically, out of the hobby since 2009. The majority of my equipment has been sold but I still have some equipment. The site was always regarded as a nice Amateur Radio web site with lots of good information. I'd like to get that status back if someone in the club would be willing to send me new information and material. The Domain Name is paid through April of 2016 so come on folks... let's use it!!!

This is one of the original club QSL cards, printed around 1979. It was given to us to scan by Sylvester Gookin, N1DKF... thanks Syl! The club was formed in 1978 in the aftermath of the Blizzard of '78. A large group of area Hams got together and provided communications support to local officials and to the Hospital and it's staff. When the storm was over, new friendships were made, a need was recognized and a club was born.

Covering Southeastern Mass... serving several communities and based in Attleboro!

LOYAL..... offering loyalty, encouragement and support to other amateurs, local clubs and the American Radio Relay League, through which Amateur Radio in the United States is represented nationally and internationally.

PROGRESSIVE..... with knowledge abreast of science, a well built and efficient station, and operation beyond reproach.

FRIENDLY..... with slow and patient operation when requested, friendly advice and counsel to the beginner, kindly assistance, co-operation and consideration for the interests of others. These are the hallmarks of the amateur spirit.

BALANCED..... Radio is an avocation, never interfering with duties owed to family, job, school or community.
