The Fort Myers Amateur Radio Club (FMARC) is the largest amateur radio club in Southwest Florida. We are an extremely active club for those interested in becoming licensed as well as for hams with all levels of experience. Our educational opportunities and special interest groups are just some ways for our members to explore all the facets of amateur radio. For more information, please click here.
