It's that time of year! Most members need to renew their KWARC membership in September each year. Search for your callsign under the purple KWARC Roster box above to confirm your renewal date. If yours is due, see our Membership Renewal page, or contact the treasurer if you need any help. Thanks!
2026-06-27 and 28th:
ARRL Field Day. This year, KWARC will hold their Field Day event
on the grounds of the Mannheim Mennonite Church, 1494 Bleams Road,
Petersburg. The church is located on a hill just west of the
village of Mannheim on the outskirts of Kitchener-Waterloo. Should
be a great site for radio! If you are interested in helping out
with the planning of this annual event, running a station or
operating, contact Tim VA3TMV.

2026-08-04 18:00 KWARC Annual Picnic KWARC will once again be sponsoring the very popular annual potluck picnic at Waterloo Park. Waterloo Park is bounded on the west by University Avenue, on the north by Seagram Drive, and on the South by Father David Bauer Drive. Use the west entrance off of Westmount Road North. See the map of the park. It's a potluck style. Do you have a favorite salad, dessert or veggie - then bring your favorite and share with you fellow HAMs while enjoying the summer night and great conversation. It is always a very pleasant evening!
Our regular meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month, 19:00 for 19:30 (local), held jointly in person at 250 Gage Ave, Kitchener, N2M 2C8, and on Zoom. All welcome!
KWARC's 2 meter net has moved to club repeater VE3KSR each Tuesday evening at 19:00 to provide a opportunity for members to keep in touch. Come join us on VE3KSR repeater 146.97, -ve offset, PL 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.
The KWARC Weekly Ragchew takes place on club repeater VE3KSR (146.970 -ve offset, tone 131.8), 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.
