Did you know our organization was started on February 20, 1933? We have had a few different <\/strong>names over the years. We started in 1933 as the Fayette County Radio Club.

Around 1938 our organization changed names and we became the Fort <\/strong>Necessity Amateur Radio Association.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0In 1947, our organization bought the property that is still the<\/strong> location of our radio club.
