CDARIN brings joy to Caribbean #hamradio folks

The Caribbean Digital Amateur Radio International Network. CDARIN was  conceived by ham radio operators in the Caribbean and in the diaspora  as a way of building a bridge to connect the two groups.

Many ham radio operators who immigrate from the Caribbean assimilate  into amateur radio clubs in their adopted home countries. However,  many yearn for a way to reconnect to their counterparts in the Caribbean. Digital ham radio, fueled by the uptick in the use of
L MMDVM hotspots, the linking of repeaters using the digital voice modes  (DMR, C4FM, DSTAR) has served as one avenue to raise a QSO with  Caribbean hams.

CDARIN envisions that there needs to be 'a home' on the web and  digital amateur radio platforms dedicated to developing a network of  Caribbean hams worldwide.

CDARIN is not meant to be another club, as much as it is meant to provide information and support to the many successful and fully functioning clubs in each of the islands.

In keeping with our motto: connect…communicate…collaborate, it is  hoped that the amateur radio services and support offered by CDARIN  will be used by Caribbean hams globally, to foster and develop the  hobby and to provide authentic support during times of disaster  response.
