Williamsburg Area Amateur Radio Club K4RC Welcome to the Williamsburg Area Amateur Radio Club, founded in 1975. All ages are encouraged! At 7pm we have our regular monthly meeting.

Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of every month at the James City-Bruton Volunteer Fire Station, 3135 Forge Road in Toano. We have an Hour of Power at 6pm for informal Q&A or learning sessions catered toward newer hams. Regular programs of interest follow short business meetings, and is open to all Amateur Radio operators, friends, and families. Refreshments are served.

Thank you Chris KC4CMR, Joy K4HHW, Ken KO4PQM, David KR4EYF, Fred KN4ZME, and Anita KH2FX (and myself), for getting up early this morning and coming out to support the Busch Gardens Food & Wine 5K Run.

It was cool but not too cold and sunny when the sun finally came up. The race started at 07:30 and was finished by 09:30. (5K events usually go fast.) There were 697 runners/walkers and only two injuries. The participation in this event keeps growing.

Please keep an eye out for Robert KN4UUTā€™s messages regarding our next community event, the Patriots Triathlon, September 12 and 13.

The Bike MS Colonial Crossroads ride comes up on May 30 and 31. We arenā€™t involved in this raceā€™s organization although they will be using the .76 repeater that weekend. Some Club members support the event. The Bike MS website has a section for ham radio operators. Please sign up there to volunteer.
