The Monessen Amateur Radio Club (MARC) is proud to announce the official adoption of new bylaws that now allow **licensed GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) operators** to become members of our club.

This marks an exciting and progressive step forward for our organization. By welcoming licensed GMRS users into MARC, we are expanding opportunities for collaboration, training, public service, and emergency communications across multiple radio services.

To our knowledge, MARC is among the first amateur radio clubs in Southwestern Pennsylvania to formally adopt bylaws recognizing and including GMRS operators as eligible members. We believe this decision strengthens our mission to promote effective radio communication, community preparedness, and fellowship among all responsible radio operators.

We look forward to building new partnerships, sharing knowledge, and continuing to serve our community together.
