What is the North Shore Radio Association all about?

The North Shore Radio Association (formally the North Shore Repeater Association) is a non-profit Amateur Radio organization based on the north shores of Boston Massachusetts.

The NSRA operates and maintains 4 ham radio voice repeaters and packet nodes that are open to all Licensed Amateurs.

The NSRA has been in existence since 1964, Original the club was based in Salem MA (that's why the witch in logo) and has members from many cities and towns on the North Shore as well as areas far away. Some of the local cities and towns are Danvers, Salem, Marblehead, Lynn, Beverly, Peabody, Saugus, and Swampscott. Some of the far away members are in Maine, Georgia, and Florida.
