The Lake Amateur Radio Association (LARA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization started by a small group of radio amateurs in 1952.  Since that time, LARA has grown to a membership of 150 plus members, own their own property, and built a clubhouse on that property.

The club owns and operates a fully equipped Emergency Communications Trailer for public service and emergency communications.  The club operates 3 VHF repeaters and 3 UHF repeaters.  One or more of these are often linked to Echolink or the East Coast Reflector.  LARA also has 3 DMR repeaters that are linked on 'Local 2" providing excellent County wide coverage.

LARA operates under the call sign K4FC and the ARES division (LCARES) operates under the call N4FLA.  On the LARA property is the clubhouse along with a 141 foot tower.  The club maintains an extensive antenna farm along with 4 operatiing positions inside the clubhouse.  These operating postions can work HF, VHF, UHF along with various modes such as P-24, Winlink, FT-8 etc.

The Lake Amateur Radio Association meets on the third Saturday of each month at 10:00AM at the clubhouse.  The club routinly conducts a Volunteer Examiner  session before the meetings at 8:00AM
