What is the ICRC?

Welcome to the Insurance City Repeater Club website. The ICRC is a club established by amateur radio operators for the purpose of scientific exploration, and maintaining communications in times of emergency. We currently meet monthly at the American Red Cross in Farmington Connecticut on the 3rd Friday of each month at 7:30PM.

See you the first full weekend of February 2011

It's Here This weekend! Klondike TIME!

June Norcross Webster 231 Ashford Center Road. Ashford, CT 06278

N1JGR/ICRC need 15 amateur operators to support this mission.

Sign up with N1JGR@snet.net Each year Rick N1JGR coordinates with a local scout troop so that our club provides communications between checkpoints and stations for the Boy Scouts of America's Klondike Derby. We do this for an entire weekend, as it lets us practice setting up, deploying, and activating as we would be required to do in an emergency. During the weekend we operate all modes, and and all bands. this is a GREAT way to get more exposure to ham radio and we can always use more help so please consider coming down to volunteer to work a station or help out.

For additional details please email Rick (N1JGR) at N1JGR@snet.net

Note: This years Klondike will be on February 6th and 7th, 2010 at 231 Ashford Center Road.
