Southern Indiana Amateur Radio Association
The Southern Indiana Amateur Radio Association, SIARA, is designed to promote, host, and coordinate amateur radio activity across southern Indiana.

SIARA was founded in June of 2018 and membership is open to any amateur radio license holder as well as prospective license holders.
