The Five Founding Fathers
Five amateur radio operators whose vision helped establish GMRA.
The group first met in 1971 and decided to establish the area's first 2-meter autopatch repeater on 146.610 MHz. They subsequently selected a name for the Association based on the fact that the first repeater antenna was on Murray Green's house, which was located on a hill in Cheverly, Maryland, and which they fondly called; "Green Mountain."
Pioneers in their own right.
