The History of Our Club
The Suburban Amateur Repeater Association was started in Chicago in 1967.
We started at two locations; Christ Community Hospital on 95th St in Oaklawn, IL was our transmit site and Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park, IL was our receive site.
We moved on top of the First National Bank Building at the southwest corner of Clark and Lake Streets in downtown Chicago with an additional receive site at Hollywood Towers on the Northside of Chicago blocks from Lake Michigan.
As we continue to seek additional repeater sites in the south, west and north suburban communities, these future improvements will make SARA a formidable communications tool for our Amateur Radio Community.
Our current location is in the Lincoln Park Community of Chicago with views of Lake Michigan, downtown Chicago and the North Shore Suburban Community.
We are a proud supporter of local emergency services, the Chicago Marathon, Salvation Army and supplemental services for our local Amateur Radio Clubs and Licensed Hams.
SARA is a proud sponsor of the Illinois Young Ham Club
