Welcome to Malabar Radio Society
Malabar Amateur Radio Society (MARS) was established in 2011 by a passionate group of Amateur Radio Operators (Hams) from the vibrant state of Kerala.
As a registered non-profit public service organization, MARS is committed to various facets of Amateur Radio, including emergency communications, public service, and the promotion of this exciting hobby. Furthermore, MARS actively engages in the licensing of new Amateur Radio operators, playing a pivotal role in expanding the community.
