 We are radio amateurs who are in the hobby for fun and fellowship... not for dues, politics, and business meetings.  We band together for mutual support, encouragement, and education.  Welcome to the virtual club -- always open; always free.   (Page updated 29 Sep 02 by VE3RHJ)

 
Virtual Meetings

We "meet" via email through the virtualradio eGroup.  To join the Virtual Radio Club, simply subscribe to the virtualradio list (right).  Think you've missed something?  You can read the eGroup archive of past messages.

We also meet in person for occasional activities -- see the list above.
