Old Town Amateur Radio ~~Club~~ Cruisers
The OTARC
(a not for profit organization)

Many HAM operators have joined the ranks of the people who love to bring their cars to local venues here in Central Florida. There have even been HAM's that have gone out and bought cars to join in on the Friendship and Camaraderie that ensues at such events as well as "Cruisers" becoming HAMs.

With the Internet by using EchoLink, you the HAM operator can join in on some of the fun, no matter where you are. Right now while we are working on a location for our own repeater you can usually find the OTARC members on the N4HHA Repeater on a Saturday from about 1:00 to 10:00 PM. The N4HHA-R is the look up on EchoLink the node number is 44310.

So here we bring you some of the adventures that take place during the events from the "Friday Nite Cruise" and the "Saturday Nite Cruise©". The MFARRA and ARRG.US meetings take place on various Saturdays.

If you are an old car fanatic and would like to learn more about HAM Radio, stay tuned, we might even have some classes coming up in the future.

This is not a paid advertisement or endorsement for any of the over 75 Shops or the 18 Thrilling Rides nor the 8 delicious restaurants. It is an endorsement of the people you will meet, like the ones that "Dress" for each Holiday or have a theme for their car, such as the "Blues Mobile", the friends you will make and the Nostalgic feeling you will have viewing the 100's of cars in our favorite "Home Town". Heck you might even see Boss Hog following Roscoe chasing Daisy and the "General Lee". Even 4 "Herbies" or more, have been spotted on the Brick Streets of Old Town.

We kicked off the club just this last Saturday, June 28th, 2008 and had our own version of "Field Day" check out the photos and story at Steve Butler's Cruise-In News. By clicking here.

July 16th, 2008 we have adopted Wednesday Nite Cruise-In, at "Rock at the Clock" for weekly meetings. Come out and see us.
