Emergency communications equipment has been installed at Doctors Community Hospital in cooperation with the Prince George's County ARES/RACES group. This equipment was initially put into service during the ARRL Simulated Emergency Test in early October 2004. Several CMARC members have been issued appropriate Hospital IDs and are prepared to assist in communications support in the event of an emergency involving Doctors Community Hospital.

NOTE: The operation of CMARC's Tuesday evening net has been suspended indefinitely.

Upcoming events:

March 17, 2009: Full Membership Meeting, 7:30pm at Doctors Community Hospital, Lanham, MD. The meeting will be held in the Critical Care conference room (room 2607).

The room is to your right just after you enter in the double door entrance to the Critical Care area. For more information, please send a note to wc3mar@arrl.net.

CMARC is an American Radio Relay League (ARRL) affiliated club, and participates in The Middle Atlantic FM and Repeater Council, Inc. (TMARC), and the Foundation for Amateur Radio (FAR). We own an autopatch equipped repeater (on 145.230- MHz). The repeater serves as a backup emergency communications link for the local Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) group. Several members are active with the Prince George's County ARES group.

CMARC has been providing radio communications for the Greenbelt Labor Day Parade for the past ten++ years. CMARC also helps to provide communications support for the Prince George's County CROP Walk, Christmas in April, and, in cooperation with Prince George's County ARES/RACES, helps to provide emergency communications support for Doctors Community Hospital.
