About SARA

The Silvercreek Amateur Radio Association, or “SARA,” was established in 1977 to provide technical support, fellowship, and public service opportunities for amateur radio operators in the tri-county area of Medina, Summit, and Wayne counties in Northeast Ohio. SARA is an ARRL Special Service Club, meaning it exists to go above and beyond for their communities and Amateur Radio. Striving to be a leader in the Amateur Radio community, SARA provides technical training, publicity programs, educational projects, and operating activities. Also, an active Volunteer Examiners team assists with testing to license incoming individuals into amateur radio and upgrade current license holders to General and Extra classes.

SARA is a general-interest club with members involved in a variety of amateur radio activities, including VHF/UHF/HF communications, repeater operations including Allstar/Echolink, digital voice technologies DMR/Fusion, radiosport contesting, and public services. SARA is proud to support ARES programs in both Summit and Wayne Counties as well as NWS SKYWARN operations in the Tri-County area
