The Greater Bridgeport Amateur Radio Club (GBARC) is an ARRL affiliated club whose mission is to support the City of Bridgeport during times of emergency and non-emergency by providing training and technical expertise. We seek to further the exchange of information and cooperation between members and non-members, to promote radio knowledge, fraternalism and individual operating efficiency; and to conduct club programs and activities as to advance the general interest and advancement of amateur radio and ham radio operators in our communities.
If you are a licensed radio amateur operator you are invited to join us order to help meet these goals. Come experience new and exciting activities while you have a chance to learn from others.

2022 FIELD DAY GBARC Places Third Place In Class
GBARC's ARRL Summer Field Day was held on the top level of the St. Vincent’s Medical Center parking garage. It proved to be a perfect operating location. We made 900 contacts operating 2 HF, 1 HF GOTA, 1 VHF/UHF, and 1 AMSAT stations. Points totaled 3,884 which resulted in a third place award for class 2A in the country. Sixty-nine of the 71 ARRL U.S. sections and 6 of the 13 Canadian sections were contacted. Click the images to enlarge.
Thanks to all of the GBARC members and drop-ins for making this a successful event.
