The VE3RCK club repeater is back on the air. The tech committee will leave it operational as is for now with a temp fix until a comparable part is sourced out that will operate with this repeater. Check back here for updates.
Volunteer to help at the Waterloo Marathon: 2022-05-01 (May day!), about 7am onward, usually a fun morning-and-a-bit, enjoying the scenery, chatting with the other volunteers, with a bit of easy VHF operating. It makes Ham Radio more visible to our local community, and it's much appreciated by the other non-ham volunteers, spectators (race progress updates!) and the SJA. Contact Nick for more details, to volunteer, or with any questions
2022-05-03 meeting: The Allstar System - Adrian VE7NZ
Our meetings are still being held on the first Tuesday of each month, 19:00 for 19:30 (local), held jointly on VE3RCK and Zoom to partially replace the "face to face" aspect of our 250 Gage meetings, allow better presentation of slide materials, and allow new unlicensed members to join in.
KWARC will continue hosting a 2 meter net on club repeater VE3RCK each Tuesday evening starting at 19:00 to provide a opportunity for members to keep in touch. Come join us on VE3RCK repeater 146.865 -ve offset PL tone 131.8, And say hello for a evening of staying in touch with fellow KWARC members.
Various members will handle net control, but we are looking for
volunteers to also take up this opportunity. A fun way to learn how to
handle future nets!
Please email
if you would like to volunteer to control a future net.

In response to requests from the membership, KWARC is also pleased to offer the KWARC Swap & Tech Net, held on the 4th Monday of each month, again on VE3RCK. Approximate starting time will be around 20:15. It will provide local Amateurs the opportunity to share:
The Net is open to all licensed Amateur Radio operators. Harry (VE3HZ) will be your Net Control station. We hope you are able to take the time and drop in - with or without traffic.
The brand new KWARC Weekly Ragchew will take place on club repeater VE3RCK each Thursday evening from 19:00 to 20:30. This is not a net, and there is no net control, but club members are encouraged to call CQ during this time, just to see who answers.
