A History of the Mound Amateur Radio Association and an Overview of Amateur Radio

The Mound Amateur Radio Association (MARA) was founded at the Mound Laboratory in 1962, by a group of forward-looking employees. They combined their love of ham radio with the need of Mound to communicate with both local and national organizations in times of emergency.
