Tri-County Radio Association
TCRA was founded by a handful of amateur radio operators in the Fall of 1934.
- During its early years, TCRA was active on the contest circuit, going so far as to wrest the No. 1 position in an ARRL DX contest from the formidable Frankford Radio Club - one of the top contest clubs in the world.
- For the first 50 years of its existence, meetings were held weekly, and the dues were maintained at the 1934 level of 10 cents a week ($5.20 per year).
- The early club repeaters were built from scratch, and even the 2-meter duplexer used into the '80s was homemade. The late George Deihl, W2IHA, built and maintained most of this equipment, and was the prime mover in our obtaining the site our machines now occupy.
- Members of TCRA have published articles in QST and other amateur radio magazines, have won Elmer-of-the-Year awards and have distinguished themselves in the worlds of technical and operating skills. George Deihl, W2IHA, was Director of the Hudson Division of the ARRL for many years.
- TCRA prides itself on being a RADIO club, not a REPEATER club.
- TCRA has always been dedicated to education, and encourages its members to learn through participation and experience.
