Hello and welcome to the NorthEast Mississippi Radio Amateurs or NEMRA website. Our club is now 5 years old active and growing, the group is made up of amateur radio operators from Itawamba and surrounding counties in northeast Mississippi. We are a diverse group with member interest covering about all areas of amateur radio operations, from cw and ssb to satellites and APRS. We came together for public service in support of the local area in times of emergency, the expansion of amateur radio and the support of the Itawamba County 2 meter repeater. This repeater operates on 145.450 mhz and is toned 192.8 encode/decode. It is open for use by any licensed amateur operator, we ask that when using the repeater please be respectful and follow all rules as set by the FCC.

Our regular monthly meeting is held the second Tuesday night of every month at Comer’s Restaurant on old highway 78 in Dorsey, MS for fun and business. We arrive at 6 pm to eat and eyeball qso with the meeting starting at 7 pm or there about. Our meetings usually include a program which will last about 15 minutes covering a topic related to ham radio. All amateurs and non amateurs that have an interest in amateur radio are invited to come out and join us.

Our group is active in ARES and currently holds the weekly Itawamba County ARES net on Thursday nights at 8 o’clock local time. Once again all amateurs are encouraged and welcome to join this net. We have recently completed the requirements and received our ARRL affiliation as well as having an active ARRL Volunteer Examiner team that holds test sessions one time per calendar quarter. Most of our group works with and supports the local Skywarn network thru the local practice nets and during severe weather.

At this time we would like to invite you to join us for fun, fellowship and sometimes serious work in the world of amateur or ham radio. Even if you’re a member of another club and just want to see what’s going on with our bunch please feel free to join us at one of our meetings or club activities any time. Our thing is about sharing our enjoyment of the hobby with any and all that will give us the opportunity.
