The Lakeshore Repeater Association Welcomes the Megacycle Club!
We’re thrilled to announce a historic milestone for amateur radio in Wisconsin! 🎉 Dan, KA9OIL—President of one of Wisconsin’s oldest and most respected ham radio clubs—has joined forces with the Lakeshore Repeater Association (LRA), alongside members of the Wisconsin QCWC group. The result? A powerful merger that strengthens our community and deepens our roots.
The Megacycle Club, founded way back in 1947, has been a staple of Wisconsin ham radio for generations. Known for its legacy and its iconic August hamfest, the club’s traditions and spirit will now live on as part of the Lakeshore Repeater Association, Inc. 🇺🇸📡
🗣 Dan, KA9OIL, recently joined us at the LRA quarterly meeting and shared his excitement:
“We’ve been closely watching the growth of LRA and, in particular, the excitement around Project North Star.”
The majority of Racine Megacycle Club members are already active supporters of LRA’s repeaters, making this merger a natural next step in our shared journey.
This isn’t just a name change—it’s a bold leap into the future for ham radio in southeastern Wisconsin. With new energy, expanded reach, and a unified voice, the Lakeshore Repeater Association is ready to take on new challenges, support our growing community, and lead the way in innovation and collaboration.
📶 Stay tuned, because the airwaves are about to get a whole lot more exciting!
