About us
The Pecos Valley Amateur Radio Club is one of the longest standing ham radio clubs in New Mexico. The PVARC membership includes a diverse body of people including several VE Examiners qualified to administer tests for all three classes of license. The Club is actively involved with monitoring city sponsored races and marathons, ARES events and exercises, community training and outreach activities and Skywarn nets and training activities. The PVARC sponsors one of the few nightly nets, (The Yucca Two Meter Net), at 7:00 PM on 147.320 MHz/146.2 Hz tone.
The Club meets each Saturday morning at 9:00 A.M. providing no race or remote activity is going on. On the first Saturday of each month, we hold our monthly business meeting at that time. All hams and members of the public are welcome at all of our meetings and events.
Our club headquarters is temporarily located at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Pecos Valley 3187, 3201 S Sunset Ave, Roswell, NM.. For more information on any of our club activities, or to find out more about amateur radio, reach out through our Contact Page!
