It’s membership renewal time!

The packages for 2024 Boston Amateur Radio Club membership renewals will be mailed out some time next week. If your membership expires at the end of 2023, you will receive the mail by default. Current members are eligible to renew at a 20% discount—$20 for general members, and $10 for juniors, seniors, and family members. You must renew by January 31, 2024 to take advantage of the discount. The grace period for renewals extends through March, 2024.

You can renew (as well as join) on the web by going to the Join page. When you click through to the PayPal payment page, you will see a section for renewals at the bottom of the page.

If you do not want to receive the mailing (thereby saving the club the cost of two stamps), please send me a message at joechapman@alum.mit.edu saying so, or renew on the web before Wednesday, December 6.

If you wish to join as an Advanced Member, please do not renew using this website or the paper renewal form; instead, you should contact a member of the Executive Committee or send mail to w1bos@arrl.net. Current Advanced Member dues are $1400 annually and there are a limited number available.

Both renewals and new memberships made now using the website will give you BARC membership through December 31, 2024.
