SEMARC is a general interest amateur radio club devoted
to serving its members and the amateur radio community in general. It
is affiliated with ARRL (The National Association for Amateur radio) and
supports the programs of that association.
The club has programs that support the community as with
our youth education and student scholarship
program, public service and
emergency communications, participating with the
Washington County
Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) organization as a partner with
the Stillwater Amateur Radio Association (SARA) and providing testing
opportunities to get your amateur radio license with our
volunteer examiner teams.
Our public service participation includes Special events
for the City of Cottage Grove. In the past
our members have participated in "Darien's Dash", "The Woodbury Country
Mile", "Strawberry Fest", National Nigh Out and other charitable events requiring
radio communications.
As SEMARC meetings are in Cottage Grove, Minnesota the
club draws members primarily from South Washington and Dakota Counties
but everyone is welcome.
The club's 2 meter repeaters operate on 146.985 MHz with
a minus off-set and no tone is required. This repeater provides excellent coverage
with the receiver located in Cottage Grove and its transmitter
located in Hastings, MN. Our second repeater is 147.18 with
a plus offset and tone of 74.4 being use for our ARES operations and
located in Cottage Grove.
For fun, we have special events like Fox Hunts and we
operate during the annual amateur radio "Field Day" in June. Our
meetings include a short "business" meeting and have programs that are
either educational or entertaining. You can follow us on
