Nestled in the quiet reaches of Northern New York, the North Franklin Amateur Radio Society (NFARS), call sign N2NNY, serves as a vital hub for amateur radio operators. Since its establishment in 2007, NFARS has fostered a dynamic community dedicated to contests, DX operations, and reliable emergency communications. With members gathering monthly at the cozy Scotty’s Diner in Brushton, New York, the club stands as a beacon of fellowship and technical advancement for amateur radio aficionados.
NFARS takes pride in its mentoring programs and training opportunities, providing entry-level and advanced license classes for aspiring operators. The club’s commitment to education and support has seen many newcomers successfully join the airwaves, enriching the ranks of licensed amateurs. Its members, actively involved in contests and community service, contribute to public safety and emergency readiness, ensuring communication lines remain open when it matters most.
With a compact yet engaged membership of 14, the club operates a repeater and broadcasts on-the-air bulletins, keeping members informed and ready. Led by President Stewart A. White (KD2HJL) and supported by a dedicated team of officers, NFARS exemplifies the spirit of amateur radio—curiosity, camaraderie, and commitment to public service.
