Club Membership Information

Membership in the Peoria-Area Amateur Radio Club is open to all amateurs and interested parties. We offer four classes of membership to fit the needs of all amateurs and their families.

Full Membership:is open to all persons who hold an amateur radio license. Annual dues for the full membership are $20.00 per calendar year. For those under 18 years of age or over 65 years of age, a discount of $5.00 is provided. The term of membership is the same.

Family Membership:is especially desirable for those multi-ham families. The first member is charged the full price of $20.00, with each additional family member charged $5.00. The privileges for each member under the family plan is the same as if they were individual full members.

Associate Membership:is for those amateurs who do not reside in the Central Illinois area, desire limited participation in club activities, or are interested parties who do not hold amateur radio licenses. Each associate member is charged $10.00 per year in dues. Some privileges such as voting are limited under the associate member plan.

Honorary Life Memberships:are free and awarded to persons who have been members in good standing for 10 years or more, and are recommended to the general membership by the Board of Directors.

Dues for PAARC membership are payable anytime between January 1 and March 1 of a calendar year. Following March 1, members who have not renewed will be dropped from the mailing list, as well as have their autodial and mailbox removed from the 147.075 repeater system.
