| About Us... |
| WARC Brief History The club had its beginning at Amherst Regional High School in April of 1980 due to the organizing force of Lee Nolan, VE1BHS, of Maccan, with 12 people attending this initial meeting. From this early meeting, the club has been active annually and today has just under 100 members. The club participates in monthly meetings and brunches, a weekly VHF net,EMO courses and exercises, the annual Field Day contest, sponsoring the three club repeaters, awarding an annual high school bursary, and other activities as they are requested by the public or suggested by members. An annual summer picnic is generally held at a cottage or home of one of the club members. For an early history of the club, see the story by Jerry Hannah, VE1KW HERE. |
