  • Join us for Field Day June 27-28 2009.
  • Summer Meeting Plans!
    • There will be no July or August general meeting. This summer’s WVARA-sponsored activities include Field Day at the Shrine Hill Country Place and the August Picnic at the home of KA9ALI and K9ERE. (Talk-ins will be available.)
    • The Board will meet monthly on the regularly-scheduled nights unless otherwise announced. The next issue of The Bandspread will be just prior to the August picnic. All radio amateurs in and around the Wabash Valley are invited to both events. Both will be a pitch-in, with meat and drinks provided.

      You can help the WVARA reduce expenses. Each month the Bandspread is published electronically in PDF format. As soon as the electronic version is available, an email is sent notifying each recipient that it is available. If you have the capability to view and/or print the Bandspread in this format, you can save the WVARA the costs of mailing the printed copy. If you are interested in changing to the electronic version, please email the club Secretary, Bette KC9GWT.

  • WVARA Forced to a New Address
      The U.S. Postal service is closing the Cherry St. facility in Terre Haute, and with that closing came notice that P.O. Box 81 will no longer exist. Keeping the current address was not an option available to the WVARA. Indiana State University will be taking over the building in early January. While ISU will maintain some of the P.O. Boxes in the facility, they are all receiving new box numbers as part of that transition. The new address for the WVARA will be…

      P.O. Box 10081, Terre Haute, IN 47801

      Mail will be forwarded from the old address to the new address for a period of time. However, please begin to use the new address immediately for any mail to the WVARA.
  • VE Testing Locations and Directions
  • Club Meeting Location!
      Starting with the May 2008 meeting, the location will be in a building located at 1715 South 8th Street Terre Haute, IN. This is the old Idaho Station Post Office building. Park in the fenced-in lot immediately north of the building. Talk-in will be on the K9IKQ repeater.
