            Mission Statement

               MARRA provides Auxiliary Communications to partner agencies in the event that regular
               communications systems become over-loaded or fail.

              MARRA owns and maintains a local coverage amateur radio communications station
              (the KB1CBD Repeater) that is supported by its members, a cadre of trained Amateur
              Radio Emergency Service (ARES) communicators with FEMA IS-100, 200, 700, 800 certifications.

           A Brief History

             MARRA was started in 1976. It was originally housed in the Board of Education
             building on Eels Hill with a single radio to support Civil Defense communications.
             It has enjoyed a long and positive working relationship with the Milford Fire Department
             over the years.


            Today, MARRA continues its mission of Public Service Communications and has
            installed a new 2 meter Yaesu Repeater (January 2015) with an output of 20-50 watts.
            MARRA is co-located with its sister club the Coastline Amateur Radio Association on
            Eels Hill in Milford, CT.
