NOFARS ONLINE ROSTER

Ray, KM4RAY and Don, KM4OUC have updated and posted the North Florida Amateur Radio Society membership roster. It is current through May 13, 2018.

Click Here

The Pd. Thru column on the right indicates the end of the year when NOFARS membership expires.  Those listed with 2017 or before need to renew soon.

NOFARS dues are based on the calendar year.  2018 dues may be paid now.  Dues remain at only $5 per year.

Please send dues along with name, call and address to: 

NOFARS Secretary Ray Hall, KM4RAY

3016 Scotty Dr.

Jacksonville FL 32216

For new members and for renewals (optional), use the NOFARS membership form.

If your roster information is correct, you need only include your name and callsign.

If your roster details are outdated, incorrect--or if you want your telephone number or e-mail posted, updated or deleted--please notify KM4RAY via raymond.hall at comcast.net

You may renew for multiple years at the low $5 annual rate. Or become a NOFARS Life Member for only $60 ($50, if you have been a member for five years or more.)

For the past decade, NOFARS has only collected telephone numbers from members who opted to have their number published in the roster.  The shelf life of e-mail addresses seems to be short and many shown on the roster are defunct.  

Online callsign lookups such as qrz.com may include more current information, so check there.  A free account and log-in is now required  for callsign lookup on qrz.com.

Compiling and maintaining the NOFARS roster is a time-consuming task.  Thanks to KM4RAY and KM4OUC!!
