Member of the Month is Coming Soon

WVARA is more than repeaters, radios, antennas, and meetings — it’s the people who bring the club to life. Our upcoming Member of the Month feature will introduce you to some of the operators who make our amateur radio community such an interesting and welcoming place.

We’re putting the finishing touches on this new feature now, so check back soon to meet our first featured member!
