Sawnee Amateur Radio Association
This club is a community focused organization made up of Amateur Radio Operators from Forsyth County and the North Georgia area. SARA is open to all licensed Amateur Radio Operators, as well as those who are interested in becoming Amateur Radio Operators.
SARA members support and participate in local community activities needing the skills of trained Amateur Radio Operators. These activities may include community event communication assistance, and emergency communication through ARES. Club members may also participate in the Annual ARES Field Day activities. Members may join together during times of inclement weather supporting the ARES Group, activating a local weather net to keep track of impending storms.
While SARA openly supports other local area clubs, there are over 800 licensed Hams in this county alone. SARA supports the initiative to get inactive people back into amateur radio through demonstrations and public appearances, club activities, and outings. SARA had it’s first meeting August 10th, 2009.
