Our Calendar of Events

Welcome to the site of the Green Valley Amateur Radio Club.

The Green Valley Amateur Radio Club (GVARC) was started in the summer of 1979 by a small group of local Amateur Radio operators (hams). Dr. Allen Carter, MD (KA7EVH) hosted a group in his home. The meeting was planned to find a way for hams in Green Valley to have antennas that are real antennas. Most areas of Green Valley have severe restrictions regarding antennas in the Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) imposed by the homeowner’s associations on the residents.

If you hold a valid license, we encourage members to use the facilities of the club and participate in activities, particularly your area of special interest.

If you are not licensed, the club membership will help you qualify for the license class you desire. There will be somebody with you through all the necessary steps that you take.

Check out the 2 Meter Gallery page.
Many designs and the offer to help you make an antenna of your own, to improve the performance of your rig. Even if your's looks like the unit on the left.
'You can do better than this' with the antennas in the Gallery.
