About

Welcome to the Monterey Bay Amateur Radio Association (MBARA) and our radio facility N6IJ!

MBARA members come from the Monterey Bay area, northern California, and the world. We are dedicated to all aspects of Amateur Radio. Our current focus is creating the premier HF and VHF radio experimentation, operating, DXing, and contesting station.

The N6IJ site is a great location for casual operating, experimentation with antennas and radios, and an excellent emergency communications resource.

MBARA board members include hams from the Monterey Bay area and representatives from the Naval Postgraduate School Amateur Radio Club, the Santa Cruz County Radio Club, and the Northern California Contest Club.

MBARA is affiliated with the ARRL – the national association for amateur radio.
