White Rock Amateur Radio Club
Reaching the world from White Rock, Amateur Radio in action

We believe in helping our newer hams gain the experience with all aspects of the hobby in which they are interested. Here Brett is giving advice to Pam on how to operate in high speed contests.

Amateur Radio
Amateur Radio is a tool for communication, a hobby, a community service. Examples include: safety communications in the local mountains, chatting world-wide with a few watts of power and a wire hung in a tree.
Our Club
The White Rock Club (VE7DB) is associated with dozens of other clubs across Canada. Our members come from a wide variety of backgrounds. We get together to share our common interest in radio technology.
