Cross Band Campers Amateur Radio Group

Our Mission

The mission of the Cross Band Campers Amateur Radio Group (CBCARG) is to unite Christian amateur radio operators who are committed to advancing fellowship, promoting the responsible use of amateur radio, and fostering a shared appreciation for camping and the outdoors. Based in Louisiana, we strive to encourage spiritual growth and mutual support among members, enhance technical skills in radio communication, and serve our communities through the principles of faith, cooperation, and preparedness. Our goal is to build lasting connections both on the airwaves and in person, demonstrating integrity, service, and Christian values in all our activities.

Who We Serve

We serve amateur radio operators, campers, and communities across Louisiana.
