REPEATERS
-
KWARC recently invested over $2,000 to improve our VHF/UHF antenna facilities on the new CKCO tower at Baden. This work has greatly improved the coverage of VE3KSR but has also drained our financial reserves. Your support is appreciated.
-
KWARC provides it’s members 4 voice repeaters as well as access to the world wide packet network.
-
KWARC also operates a node on the Internet Repeater Linking Project (IRLP) that connects VE3RBM to other repeaters around the world. This service is only available to KWARC members.
THE
IRLP NETWORK
KWARC now has a full
time link to the world-wide IRLP (Internet Radio Linking Project).
This service is available via our VE3RBM UHF repeater on 444.875 with PL

BEGINNERS
CLASSES
Each January KWARC provides a
beginners class providing a teaching environment to anyone wishing to
become a Radio Amateur. Our pass rate has averaged over 80%. demonstrating
the calibre of instruction from our dedicated instructors.
FIELD DAY
For the past 55 years, KWARC has
participated in the annual Field Day competition and exercise. Sponsored
by the American Radio Relay league, this contest tests the emergency
preparedness of our club as we set up and operate for 24 hours under
emergency conditions.
THE WWW
On the first day of KWARCs 75th
year (Sept 96) , we entered Cyberspace with the inauguration of the KWARC
web sit. This addition to KWARC web pages has been visited over 1
million times by amateurs and interested parties around the world. We would be
amiss if we did not thank Don Sinclair VE3ICD for his generosity and
support at hosting the club's web site through his company, K-W
Information Gateway Services.
