This is an amateur radio club that happens to own a club house in Wi******er, Virginia. We have historically relied on membership dues and proceeds from our annual hamfest that has been held at the Clarke County Ruritan Fair Grounds in Berryville, Virginia, on the first Sunday in August for decades until COVID 19 hit in 2020. We are anxious to resume the annual hamfest tradition which is one of th

e ham radio jewels of the region. We are cautiously optimistic of the prospect of resumption of this grand event in 2021, and will provide updates here and on our other public web presence as the story unfolds. In the mean time, our rainy day funds are sustaining us for the moment. The club house / club station is accessible within the guidelines and government orders applicable. Regular Club in-person membership meetings at the Club house have been suspended until further notice. They have been replaced with online meetings. Members are e-mailed a URL to a Zoom meeting one to two days before the meeting. Others interested in attending may use the club's web site contact form (https://svarc.us/contact-us/) and request a meeting invite.
