OUR STORY The Wireless Society of Southern Maine began as a group of friends with a common interest in ham radio, who met weekly at the Wassamki Springs Campground in Scarborough. In early summer of 2010, these friends decided to create a more formal organization, recognizing a need in the community for a club that was welcoming, helpful, and receptive to new ideas. Please join us the 3rd Thursday of each month, from 7pm-9pm for a Meeting on the Air on the 146.730 (- / 100) repeater. All are welcome, including non-members. The net welcomes traffic to be forwarded via Radio Relay International. Immediately following will be the After Net on 28.455 kHz SSB. ECT Meetings are hybrid on-air and in-person training sessions, focussing on learning on-air skills and becoming familiar with the radio equipment at the CCEMA facility. If anyone is interested in running net control from the EMA, please contact Tim KB1HNZ.

Most recently, on July 23rd, members of the Wireless Society of Southern Maine and New England Radio Discussion Society, participated in a joint Parks on the Air (POTA) and Summits on the Air (SOTA) activation from Mt. Agamenticus, in York, ME. Mt. Agamenticus has the designation W1/AM-381 for SOTA and the Mt. Agamenticus Wildlife Management Area, which includes the summit, is designated K-8448 for POTA..
