The Eastern Conference for the Society of Amateur Radio Astronomers (SARA) and Radio Jove is an opportunity for amateur radio astronomers to come together for hands-on training, sharing of knowledge, debate of ideas, fellowship, and of course continuous learning. Our mission is to create opportunities for educating those interested in pursuing amateur radio astronomy.
