The goal of this website is to provide you with a little information about the Sun Country Amateur Radio Society, our repeaters, some of the activities associated with our group and a bunch of general ham radio information.
We are located in North Central Florida, Marion County, in the town of Anthony, just north of Ocala, FL. We are about 90 NNW of Orlando, about 75 miles from the east or the west coast of Florida and about 35 miles south of Gainesville. MAP
Our group is more of a social group rather than a official structured club. We get together every 2 weeks and meet at one of the local restaurants in town for some food, fun and relaxation. We start at 7:00PM
and continue on until we are ready to call it quits for the evening. Our next meeting is at Heart & Soul Cafe on Tuesday
- September 27th, 2016
@ 7:00PM
.
If you would like to learn more about ham radio, if you think you have some interest in ham radio but would like to learn more or if you are a local ham operator looking for a great group of people to socialize with, we encourage you to come and join us. Everyone is welcome!!
GOOD NEWS! - NEW Network
Our website is now running on a different network because the old network was not very reliable. The server has been move to a cable TV Internet that has bandwidth speeds a little over 100mbs. Now we are watching to make sure everything works as it should. So far making this move has reduced our downtime due to Internet outage significantly. Let me know if you experience any problems.
UPDATE
The website is complete. Of course there will always be things to update but for the most part, the core information is complete.
It took a lot of time to get everything moved over from the old website and then move the server to the new network without any interruption of service. There will be some things that I will add from the time to time. If you can't find something you were looking for, let me know and I will try to restore it back as it was. Otherwise we'll try to keep the information here as up to date as we can.

We fixed the 2 polls that we have online. The problem was that they were set to closed automatically after 2 months. This has been corrected and the polls are now open without an ending date.

We continue to tighten the security of our mail server to ensure that SPAMMERS do not get access to it. In reviewing the mail server logs we can see that many people have attempted to hack their way in. We are now compiling a "Blocked Sender" list that the mail server uses to automatically reject mail from know SPAMMERS. We are also using a few SPAM detection services to block SPAM. As always, we strive to provide the very best SPAM FREE services possible.
