Welcome to CARA, the Culpeper Amateur Radio Association (CARA)

CARA is an ARRL affiliated organization made up of avid amateur radio operators residing in west central Virginia, in and around Culpeper County. Members of CARA participate in all aspects of the amateur radio hobby, from casual QSOs on all HF, VHF and UHF bands as well as the high anxiety pace of contesting on RTTY, CW, SSB and all digital formats. CARA is a community oriented group, providing support to the community in the form of communications services during local events and emergency communications during disasters. CARA owns and operates four repeaters open to all licensed radio amateur and GMRS operators.
