Amateur Radio Association at the University of Maryland
- Amateur Radio Association at the University of Maryland
The Amateur Radio Association at the University of Maryland (ARAUM), formerly the University of Maryland Amateur Radio Association (UMARA), which was formed between 1932 and 1933. The UMARA marginally predates the Federal Communications Commission and received its initial callsign grant of 3EAX from the United States Department of Commerce, which regulated United States radio communications at the time.
ARAUM maintains a fully stocked ham shack high atop the South Campus Dining Hall on the campus of the University of Maryland, College Park campus, complete with a 2-meter repeater, operating at 145.490 MHz(-).
In 1996, SPRE, an Amateur Radio (Ham radio) communications experiment designed by members of W3EAX, flew on the Space Shuttle Endeavor (STS-72) as part of the Spartan package.
The club continues to hold the amateur radio callsign of W3EAX.
