As of January 1, 2024 all future posts will be coming from the moarc.net website as we have merged with them and will be sustaining that website going forward. This site will stay up for historical and archival data for now, but that will eventually stop.
Thank you for all your support. It has been a wonderful time. Looking forward to the new future as a combined club with MOARC.

The MOARC/CNYARC Repeater 145.210 with a PL 71.9 is back on the air. Take the time to try it out again. We know the footprint is reaching Rome NY and other areas so give it a try have a QSO with a friend or whomever might be listening.
The repeater is identifying as W2MO/R2 and is working on both Analog and Digital (Yaesu Fusion). Let’s get some use out of it again now that it’s up on the air and in a new location. This will be the new location for the repeater the antenna isn’t very high, but the coverage is decent and the antenna placement is only temporary right now.

As of January 1st, 2023 the Central New York Amateur Radio Club and the Madison-Oneida Amateur Radio Club will have merged into one club. That club will continue to be known as the Madison-Oneida Amateur Radio Club. Both clubs will be united under that name. Both clubs made this decision throughout 2023 as they have been meeting together and working toward that common goal.
The reason for joining the two clubs was mutual needs and the ability to grow a stronger, healthier club from the two. This provides a stronger group of radio operators for multiple event handling, ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Services), and RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services).
The two clubs are looking forward to the new year and combining our strengths into one stronger healthier club. This will be an interesting and wonderful year and we look forward to having you join us for a meeting and seeing what we are all about.

Congratulations to the following members for their new tickets!
On Feb 25th, CNYARC hosted an outdoor activation activity at Moscow Hill in Charles E. Baker State Forest (K-5166). It was a snowy and bitter cold day with temperatures in the teens but that didn’t stop the 5 participants from getting on the air!
A total of 3 stations were set up and the team logged 142 contacts. Jeff KD2MTL succeeded in activating his first park and Shaun N2EWC became the lead activator for the park.
Here’s a map of some of the QSOs:

During the spring and summer of 2022 the Central New York Amateur Radio Club started a 50/50 raffle. Selling tickets at local Hamfests, stores, business and racking up a good amount to split with the winner. It was a fun time and the club got the word out about Amateur Radio while selling tickets. Tickets were sold at the Field Day to any visitors that stopped by. Field day was a great success and has a post of its own.
A local Ham operator in Utica KC2IIJ (Mike Long) was the winner of the 50/50 split and being the kind of guy he is he turned around and donated it back to the club. What a way to pay it forward!
The club is planning on holding another 50/50 raffle next spring and summer. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets to help with the repeater and thanks to all who sold tickets.
