The Citrus Belt Amateur Radio Club (CBARC) has been serving as a hobbyist resource and emergency communications to local agencies for about 50 years and has been operating out of the Patton State Hospital in Highland since 1991.
Made up of over 75 members, the club meets on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 and offers several opportunities for ham radio operators and those interested in entering the hobby.
