In February of 1947, as Ham Radio Operators were being allowed back on the air following victory in World War 2, a group of Hams in the Evansville Indiana tri-state area got together and formed the Tristate Amateur Radio Society. The purpose and mission of the club from the very beginning was to
-
Promote ham radio by educating the public on the merits, purpose, and mission of amateur radio;
-
Help members increase technical knowledge of radio theory, practice, and technology in general;
-
Provide service to the community through traffic handling, event communications, and preparing for disasters; and
-
Growing members through camaraderie and fun.
The Tristate Amateur Radio Society, or TARS, of Evansville Indiana has been an active club since its inception, and has and continues to fulfill the mission set forth by the founders of the club in 1947.
In 2022 we celebrate 75 years of service to our community, to fellow hams, and society in general. It’s a rich of which heritage we are extremely proud.
Happy 75th anniversary TARS
