The MARCONI Program was developed by the Meriden Radio Amateur Club (MARC) as part of a grant awarded through the ARRL Club Grants Program beginning in September 2022. The Project is designed to assist clubs to become more active and engaged with their members and their local community. The name MARCONI references both an early innovator in radio communications, and is an acronym for “Motivating Amateur Radio Clubs to Open New Initiatives.”
