Western Placer Amateur Radio Club

Our new Web Page is here to reflect a new and revised Club. The web site has been almost totally re-written. All topics are ported from the old site, and all URL links have been tested. You may find our new BBS of interest. We hope this feature will allow more feedback from club members. For those of you who are not familiar with a BBS, it is a old time version of Facebook and Twitter. We have also added a new way to store and display club pictures. We have also added a Database on the Web Server to store club records. A general facility to view Club Members Phone Number and Email addresses has been added. Contact the Web Master for specifics how to access this data, it is in a password protected area of the site.. .

WPARC Field Day June 23-24, 2012 – and Saturday Picnic!

We need to how if you plan to addend our field day activities. We realize it's a ways off. Please visit this Web Page and let us know if you plan to be involved and how.

Welcome to the Western Placer Amateur Radio Club for 2012! We're off to a running start for the new year.

WPARC has some dedicated and talented people, and teams are now forming to handle the various club activities for the year. One team is revamping our excellent website, another is working on improving our repeater, and other teams are laying plans for our annual Field Day practice in June and our expanding, improving HamFest in September. Throughout the year we'll be providing communications support for several bike events, and continuing our work with the Lincoln Police Department to be as helpful as possible to them. Social life seems to revolve around the weekly Saturday Morning breakfasts at Kim's Country Kitchen -- all are welcome and things begin at 0730 hours. Sometimes breakfast is followed by a Foxhunt.

We're anticipating a terrific year. Check in on the weekly net at 1930 hours on 147.360 Mhz ( + 179.9 ) to join the group and keep current on activities. It's a great club and I'm honored to be part ofthe leadership team.
