Welcome to the
Siskiyou County Amateur Radio Association (SCARA)
The Siskiyou County
Amateur Radio Association, also known as SCARA, is a group of
amateur radio operators located in Siskiyou County, California, and the
surrounding areas.
Siskiyou County is located in the middle of far northern California,
just next to the Oregon border. The Interstate 5 freeway runs
through the center of our area, and Mount Shasta, the second highest
volcano on the west coast, is our best known attraction. Siskiyou
County includes the cities and towns of Yreka, Mt. Shasta, Weed, Dunsmuir, McCloud, & Tulelake as well as Butte Valley, Scott Valley, Shasta Valley, & the
Klamath River Corridor.
Monthly
breakfast meetings
are held the first Saturday of each month in Yreka. Be sure to
check our
Events Calendar each month to verify location. Our Events
Calendar was updated on
July 30. There is also a
monthly social breakfast held the third Saturday of every month in
Etna. All of our meetings are informal and visitors (both hams
and non-hams) are always
welcome. A
weekly net is conducted every Thursday
evening at 7:00 p.m. on the
SCARA repeater system. A roll call
is conducted of "active" members and then visitors are invited to check in.
