Massachusetts Preppers is a group for people who feel there is a need to prepare for an event that will completely alter “life as we know it today”.

If the world as we know it ended. What would you do? Lets figure it out, and prepare for it together. All levels of interest and experience welcome.

There are plenty of amateur (ham) radio groups, nets, gatherings, and events in the area between Western Massachusetts and Central Connecticut (the so-called Knowledge Corridor). However, there isn't a Meetup group about Amateur (Ham) radio in the area. We will be visiting local groups, participate on the nets, get informed about local gatherings, and meet in person. This will be a one-stop resource about all things Amateur (Ham) Radio and Emergency Preparedness!
