NIARA receives two grants
The Northeastern Indiana Amateur Radio Association received two grants to help purchase equipment for the group.
The ARRL Foundation awarded the NIARA a grant of just under $3000 in support of a Go Box project. A Go Box is a complete amateur radio station in a box. A Go Box is useful in an emergency communications situation and portable for remote communications. The other award was from the Amateur Radio Digital Communications headquarted in San Diego. The NIARA was given a grant of just under $30,000 in support of a project to buy a trailer and outfit it with most all forms of analog and digital communications. This would include a mobile analog/digital repeater, Arden Meesh, and computers with software such as FLDIGI, FLARQ, FLAMP, FLMSG, FLWRAP, N3FJP, WSJT, and Winlink. The trailer will be taken to gatherings to demonstrate amateur radio and its capabilities.
Thank you John KD9QDL for your work in securing these grants!
