Our Mission

Formed in 1978 the Holmesburg Amateur Radio Club has been known for its great repeater coverage of Philadelphia. For those familiar with Philadelphia, they know that the City's founder William Penn overlooks the City from City Hall. Now thanks to HARC, his "voice" is heard on the air when Club members are on the air with the Club Call - WM3PEN.

H.A.R.C. is a multi-faceted group of Hams from all walks of life. Members have a wide and varying interest in the hobby. The club sponsors classes for code, theory, and also CW practice on the repeater each week.

Our weekly net is held on the HARC repeater (146.685- pl 146.2) every Wednesday evening at 8:00 PM.

Come and visit us at one of our regular meetings, the forth Thursday of the month at the Eight District Philadelphia Police station. Academy and Red Lion Roads, at 8:00 P.M. Guests are always welcome. Old or new Ham, and those interested in learning about amateur radio. If you have any ham friends or someone that is interested in getting a license, bring them along to a club meeting. We would love to meet them. H.A.R.C. is always open to new members.

HARC is an ARRL Special Services club. We provide communications support for a variety of public service events. The premier function each year is the Mayfair / Holmesburg Thanksgiving parade. In recent years this has become the second largest parade in Philadelphia. The Club has received a plague from the March of Dimes for service during the 2000 Walk America. Over the years HARC has provided communications for various marathons, charity walks, bike races, parades, and the 1980 Winter Olympic Torch Run.
