IMPORTANT NOTICE: if pop-ups bother you, turn off Javascript in your browser preferences, or just enable pop-up blocking (a standard feature of browsers like Firefox). And don't be shy about adding things like "Adblock+" and Ghostery to make your browsing faster and less burdened by unnecessary ads! If you do these things, your browsing will go much faster and you won't get annoying pop-up ads all the time! See -- it pays to understand how these fool machines work!

COVID-19 notice:

We're back to operating 'as normal' except that we ask you take appropriate precautions during DXpeditions (vaccinations are highly recommended for everyone who can, and no, that is not 'fake news!'). We hold these events in small cabins that don't allow for 'social distancing' and mask wearing is impractical, so in an attempt to help those who are immuno-compromised or otherwise at risk, we encourage such courtesy.

Other than that one minor change, operations remain as always, and you can count on MARE to provide the latest in radio news and special events. Our paper bulletin, and the weekly TipSheets remain unchanged, and we will continue to hold in person meetings, and the occasional 'virtual' meeting as well since now that option is available!

AND, please contribute your loggings and other information so we can keep everyone updated. MARE is a club. We work only because members contribute information! We continue to need your input. Please ask if you have questions, and do continue to contribute!

  • --Updated the links/descriptions in Shortwave Radio Broadcasting schedules page(2025/Mar/15)

    MARE's schedules page was becoming redundant and was far too labor intensive to maintain, so it's gone. If you miss that, and want to volunteer, with something like that or any OTHER interesting radio topic, we're always game to have people help!
    Would you like to see this updated again? We need help! If you'd like to assist, let us know!

  • --Updated links and listings to keep things fresh (2025/Mar/04)
  • --Updated local groups and resources (2025/Jan/26) If you note we are missing a local club in the Great Lakes area, please send us details and we'll include them too!
  • --Complete revamp of the Michigan MW/FM list (2014/Mar/26)

    -- If you have other info we lack please send us your updates and information!



  • --We are no longer updating a public local events calendar (2012) We had a calendar of radio events available for our members on the 'members only' page that includes both our events, and those of other clubs and organizations as well as important 'radio events' like DX Tests, contests and the like, but our online calendar server has gone the way of the dodo so .... We DO however still maintain calendar info in our printed newsbulletin and our weekly email only TipSheets. (2025) SO -- Please send us details of your radio activity in Michigan and surrounding area and we'll include that event too!
  • -- The Sony 2010 'Resource File" is now offline due to abuses -- email us if you'd like to see this back (2004/Mar/30)
  • Main page last tweaked 2025/March/16 -- updates to keep things more current -- January 2025 marked our 27th anniversary on the web, and we'd been e-publishing for 31 years in January 2025! So exactly how old does that make in in 'internet years'?
