Roanoke Valley Amateur Radio Club (RVARC) is dedicated to the advancement of amateur radio, serving Southwest Virginia, since 1932
Meetings are held at 7:00 pm on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month, except June and November, when it is only on the 2nd Friday. There are no regular meetings held in December. Meeting location is at the Roanoke Valley American Red Cross, 352 Church Avenue, Roanoke, VA.
The Club repeaters are open to all amateur radio operators on 2 meters (146.985 MHz -600KHz offset) and 70 centimeters (442.500 MHz +5MHz offset – currently off the air). Both repeaters use full CTCSS with a PL tone of 107.2.
RVARC provides supporting communications for numerous public service events and supports local school clubs. We are working on getting school clubs active again. If you are a teacher at a middle school or high school in the Roanoke Valley interested in creating a radio club at your school, please contact Marty K4EQS Rosendale at president@w4ca.com.
