Who we are. The Mountain Empire Amateur Radio Club, AKA the MEARC is a disorganized bunch of Amateur Radio Operators in the Eastern most part of San Diego County, CA, U.S.A. Our members are scattered over an area of 900 square miles where around 2% of the Counties 3.5 million population lives.
Our Mission. Advance the art and fun of amateur radio.
Meetings
Our general meetings are on the 4th Saturday of the month quarterly in February, May, August, and November.
Meetings begin at 2:00 PM in the Pine Valley Fire training room trailer just behind the new fire station
Several of us meet for lunch around noon at Majors Diner in Pine Valley CA.
What we do do. Lots. Mostly we are affiliated with local response and public service agencies. Campo Fire and Rescue provided us with a room at the firehouse to put our radios in and more. Go to this link for more details. At the same link you will find information on our local disaster preparedness committee, our local CERT Team and our area communications plan. Several of us are members of the San Diego County Auxiliary Communications Service (ACS) group. Others are trained to work with the San Diego Imperial Chapter of the American Red Cross.

On October 19, 2013 the San Diego / Imperial ARES conducted a "Field

Cafe B restaurant to join in the fun. Primary antennas were an 80M Windom folded for 40M for HF and a Comet VHF/UHF
