As a group, we are as varied in our lives as any other segment of society, but we all have the commonality of a love for amateur radio and the many aspects of this great hobby. Our main goal is to promote camaraderie amongst our peers and to provide community service through our organization.

Welcome to the Luce Amateur Radio Society website. We hope to let you know about us and perhaps interest you in the amazing hobby and public service of Ham Radio. Our club is open to all amateurs and persons interested in the radio hobby.

Newberry hams first got together in the 1970s to put a repeater on the air, the same 146.61. They formed a loose knit club called the 61 Group.
