The Formidable Amateur Radio Team was formed in Mooresville, Indiana in 2012 by three long time "hams" who wanted to form a group that was "pure fun", without all of the drama and politics and hurt feelings so often found in other ham radio clubs. What began as three hams enjoying breakfast and the sounds of their own voice quickly turned into much more. Members of The Formidable Amateur Radio Tea
m are still in it for the fun, but our group is proud to provide several services to the local amateur radio community at large. The group meets bi-weekly at a local restaurant, and membership is open to all interested parties upon approval of the club membership and the executive committee. Stop by for breakfast or contact one of the club members on our local repeater. We won't ask you for club ID before talking your ear off (in fact we have no club ID's to speak of). The club operates a Laurel VEC affiliated Volunteer Examiner (VE) team, offering no-cost amateur radio testing to the community on demand. Additionally, informal meetings are held on a variety of topics, including packet radio, SSTV, and Field Day Exercises. Our group maintains a VHF repeater located in Mooresville on top of a 50 foot tower. The repeater can be found on 145.110 MHz and uses a tone of 114.8 Hz for access. The repeater is open and available for all legally licensed amateur radio operators. We're proud to operate the undisputed twenty-seventh most powerful 2 meter repeater in the Mooresville area! In addition to amateur radio, club members dabble in other electronic projects, including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, RFID, computer programming, etc. We're not JUST about amateur radio, although we're dedicated hams to be sure! Stop by for some breakfast, a chat, or just to see what we've got cooking! We'd love to spend time making new friends!
