Join MVARC
Licensed or not, you’re welcome
Membership supports the repeaters, classes and events, and gives you a few extras along the way.
Why join MVARC?
Good people, good signals
We’re a club of operators who take the hobby seriously and ourselves… considerably less so. No gatekeeping. No “well, actually.” Just good people, good signals, and the occasional truly questionable antenna idea.
- Community. Make friends who’ll happily spend three hours explaining why their feedline choice was correct. (You’ll love them anyway.)
- Learning. Workshops, presentations, and Elmers who’ve forgotten more about RF than most people will ever know, and are weirdly excited to tell you about it.
- Events. Field Day, special ops, club gatherings, and the occasional “wait, we’re doing what with a balloon?” adventure.
- Service. When the cell towers go down and the power’s out, hams are the ones still talking. Be one of them. Capes optional.
Meetings, nets, classes and Watch & Learn stay open to everyone.
