Notes from the shack….
Fun with numbers!
The Cumberland Amateur Radio Club (CARC) is a diverse group.
Current Membership Statistics by license class:
| Advanced | 4 | 11% |
| Extra | 17 | 45% |
| General | 10 | 26% |
| Technician | 7 | 18% |
The FCC database seems to only go back to 2000. Just with that data, the club members have been licensed 482 years. The actual total is upwards of 1,000 years!
One of the fascinating subsets of the hobby is making contacts with different call sign prefixes. There are awards and contest multipliers based on them. The club has members with 13 different prefixes:
| AF3 |
| K3 |
| K4 |
| KA3 |
| KB3 |
| KC3 |
| KV3 |
| KX3 |
| N3 |
| N8 |

Club members call Cumberland, Dauphin, York, and Adams counties home.
