The Great South Bay Amateur Radio Club (GSBARC) is based in Babylon, NY, on the south shore of Long Island.

For over 50 years GSBARC is involved in almost every aspect of amateur (ham) radio.

Public service is a big part of the club’s activities, including communications during special events and natural disasters.

We are an ARRL Special Service club and a 501(c)(3) organization, also sanctioned by the NYS Department of Education as a STEM organization.

We have a fully equipped club trailer which we utilize for fun as well as emergency communications.

If you are thinking about getting into amateur radio, start with us. We offer free licensing classes and monthly exam sessions.

Saturday Open Houses

Come join us between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. at Babylon Town Hall. meet some of our club members, see some of the radios we use and ask as many questions as you like. There is always someone willing to help you get started.
