Meetings & Contact Information

The purpose of the Western Colorado Amateur Radio Club, Inc. is to recruit, train and ​help committed Ham Radio operators carry on the tradition of amateur radio by using our network of technical resources and ​expertise to provide equipment, skilled ​operators and emergency services when ​called upon by local authorities in time of ​need to assist and protect the citizens in ​the communities in which we live and serve. WCARC is dedicated to community service ​and providing education to the general public about the history, operation, ​functions and benefits of the Amateur ​Radio Service and to develop the next generation of radio amateurs.

WCARC Meetings

The club meets are USUALLY the second Saturday of every month, at 9:30am at the First Christian Church, 1326 N 1st St, Grand Junction, CO 81501.  Once or twice a year we may hold our meeting at another location or on a different Saturday dependent on Amateur Radio Events.  Meeting dates, times, and locations will be posted on our Events Calendar and in posts on the front page of this website.
