Welcome to S.M.A.R.S. W8DF Club website

Southern Michigan Amateur Radio Society

Battle Creek,Michigan

As a result of increasing concern about the Covid-19 virus, the SMARS board and hamfest committee have decided to cancel the 2020 Crossroads Hamfest. We regret any inconvience that this may cause. Persons that have already paid for tables or tickets should expect communications about a refund within the comming weeks.

We expect the Crossroads Hamfest to return in 2021. Watch this space for details.

The SMARS club meets on the 3rd Thursday of every month at Maple United Methodist Church at 342 Capital Ave NE. Meetings begin at 7pm and usually last less than 2 hours. If you are interested in becoming an Amateur Radio Operator please feel free to come by. We can help you pass your test to get you started in the amazing world of Ham Radio.
