CCA Information
For the active Collins user, belonging to the CCA can be extremely beneficial. Our membership has a vast collection of printed matter relating to Collins Radio including both technical and promotional material. We also have an informal group of extremely capable "Senior Technical Staff Advisors" who work on a volunteer basis to help members solve what can be complicated technical problems encountered in Collins amateur products.
Other benefits of membership include our quarterly newsletter, The Signal, The Collins Reflector e-mail list, the CCA web site, a handsome membership certificate suitable for framing and our weekly CCA Nets. There are also other Collins related items available exclusively to CCA members such as extremely high quality QSL cards, CCA name badges, tee shirts and other memorabilia. Various 3rd-party vendors provide specific discounts to CCA members. Please see the Collins Directory for more specific information.
The CCA stands for and promotes the highest standards in operating practice. The quality and integrity of our members will reflect the same quality and integrity that the Collins Radio equipment is known for. Thus, there is a real opportunity to share in quality fellowship with other CCA members.
CCA Nets The CCA supports for weekly nets to promote the use, discussion, and sale of Collins Radio Equipment. The Sunday net is dedicated to technical discussion and the listing of Collins-related equipment for buy/sell/swap.
The CCA also supports three weekly 75-meter nets which are designed to be very informal with open discussions.
CCA Grading Standards CCA members and non-members are encouraged to follow these equipment grading standards when describing the condition of used Collins radio equipment they have for sale. The chances for misrepresentation are greatly reduced if both buyer and seller use the same terms to describe a piece of equipment.
The Signal The Signal is published quarterly with the lastest news and information about the CCA
