GREAT MTARA Club Event. Thank You All for Coming.
Hello MTARA Membership!
We had an awesome picnic, great weather, and camaraderie with old and new Hams. The day was topped off with burgers, dogs, and the "Famous" sweet and sour meatballs by Susan! There were all kinds of different antenna's shown and tried. Mr POTA Adrian was the feature of the day sporting his ICON IC 7300 MKII. This is one super radio and a good possibility for our BIG Hamfest Raffle??? We had 14 registered Hams and a couple of curious people. I apologize for not remembering Greg's KC1YNN wife's name. Here ia a list of those that I registered and my apologies for any other guests I missed.
Thank YOU ALL !!!

Meet Our President
Brian "Scotty" Scott - KC1VEP
Hello and welcome to our amateur radio repeater club's website. And as you can see, we are so much more than just a repeater keeper. We are a fully operational radio club with a great repeater system at our disposal.
The journey and passion of my ham radio experience goes back to where my Uncle (Robert "Bob" Scott, Callsign: KG4IZA) who was very active in North Carolina. I unfortunately did not get into the hobby until later in life when I visited the club's past field field day operation site. After my first field day of which Danny Vierno was a big influence, and just after I got my license helped me program my HT‘s to make my first contact as a new technician.
I was introduced to POTA as an activator at Hampton Ponds State Park, and shortly after that, I became program director to actively promote MTARA in Ham Radio. From spectator back then, and now moving forwarding into Club President today, I bring a vision of helping to motivate this club into a solid future within the amateur radio community.
My leadership ability and years of community service gives me that drive along with a great team to bring MTARA to a new journey. I am a business owner, former business account executive and a 39 year Shriner. With over 40 years of sales and marketing experience and extensive public relations experience.
I plan to bring my talents to the board, and this club as your President. Additionally, I'd like to thank everyone for their support and confidence in my leadership abilities. Please reach out to me or a board member with any comments or concerns.
73 to all.
President MTARA

Communication...
Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity.
The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words.
