The Milwaukee School of Engineering Alumni Amateur Radio Association, also known as MSOE AARA or MAARA Affinity Group, was established in 2025 to foster a community among MSOE alumni and students interested in amateur radio. Its mission aligns with the principles outlined in FCC Part 97, emphasizing the value of amateur radio as a voluntary, non-commercial communication service, particularly in emergency communications.
The MSOE AARA Affinity Group aims to:
- Promote the advancement of radio technology and technical skills.
- Encourage the development of trained operators and electronics experts.
- Enhance international goodwill through amateur radio practices.
- Provide a platform for MSOE alumni to maintain their interest in radio communications post-graduation.
- Support education and participation in amateur radio at MSOE.
Quarterly meetings are held via Google Meet. Would you like to join the MSOE AARA Affinity Group? Please contact Adam Fredrick for additional information.
