Welcome to the Home of the Lincoln County Amateur Radio Group based in Lincoln County on the coast of Maine. Founded in the early 1990's, the group is realizing a renewed interest in the area. The purpose of the group is to promote all aspects of the hobby of Amateur Radio through member and public education, to train and prepare local operators for both emergency and non-emergency events, to support the Lincoln County EMA and to encourage and assist our fellow amateur radio operators and associated organizations. Membership is welcomed to all radio amateurs as well as anyone with an interest in Amateur Radio.

September SET preparation
We are holding a SET preparation session on Monday 28th Sep 2020, immediately after the net, to get ready for the October multi-county SET exercise. Our primary focus in this session is to test simplex VHF voice and data communications within Lincoln County. Time permitting, we'll also test HF WINLINK commnuications. See the sidebar for the SET details document.
The Lincoln County Information and Emergency Net meets every Monday evening at 7pm on the 146.985 repeater, PL 136.5. The purpose of the net is to handle Communications Traffic into, out of and around the state of Maine and throughout the Lincoln County area when needed, as well as a means to offer a means of sharing amateur radio information. All Radio Amateurs are welcome to check-in.
