Prior to 30 April 2020, FARA used a more traditional email reflector group for discussion. It served the club well from 2006 – 2020. All of those discussions are preserved for the use of the membership to research past discussions. There are very detailed discussions of all things amateur radio and as well as past club activities that have been saved for the benefit of the membership.
