The Lapeer County Amateur Radio Association – founded in 1953 by Hollis Hayes, W8ACD /sk – is as diverse as its nearly 60 members.  We are involved with a number of community service activities which include SkyWarn® in conjunction with the National Weather Service and local officials to provide an early warning system in the event of threatening weather.  We also provide a system for back up communications for our county in the event that a natural or other disaster should occur.
