The Cambridge Amateur Radio Association (CARA) was founded in 1913 and has remained in continuous operation except when radio silence was mandated by WWI and II. During the Korean conflict members of the club passed messages to servicemen overseas. The club has also mobilized during times of local distress, such as the flood of 1998.

W8VP (the CARA's callsign) also prides itself in frequent service to local public events. We have provided communications for the Cambridge Holiday Parade every year since 1979.
