Binghamton Amateur Radio Association – May 2024
Pictures from International Marconi Day 2024
On Saturday, April 27th, BARA participated in International Marconi Day, celebrating Guglielmo Marconi's substantial contribution to the invention of radio, which is held annually on the Saturday closest to Marconi's birthday. Participating stations are located at historic sites related to Marconi's life & career as BARA's operated from the historic Marconi Tower next to the baseball stadium and train station in downtown Binghamton.
Starting with this month we added a new section to the BARA Facts where local hams can buy, sell and trade. Please click on the above link or the picture below to see what’s available.
We are excited to share the following updates and reminders for our upcoming events.
