Events
WVARC Swapfest-Tailgate
February brings cooler weather, and lots of sellers and buyers to our annual Swapfest-Tailgate in the Sun City area. Take a look at this year's event by clicking the button below, and mark your calendar for next year's Swapfest-Tailgate on Feb. 7th, 2026!
Summer Field Day
Each June, the WVARC participates in the ARRL Summer Field Day event for 24 hours, making contacts, educating the public, and practicing our emergency skills.
Winter Field Day
Annually in January, the WVARC participates in Winter Field Day, giving us a chance to enjoy operating remotely in cooler weather for a weekend of amateur radio and contesting.
Annual Foxhunt
Once a year the WVARC demonstrates their DF skills at our annual foxhunt. The club gets a chance to find one of two hidden foxes, enjoy a meal together, and demonstrate our craft.
