The Nechako Radio Club was formed in the summer of '93 to provide a commom meeting point for the local area amateur radio operators. The club meets on informal basis usually at 730pm at the old gov't agents building. The club has many areas of interest such as providing communications to the area in the event of a disaster, for public events as well as general conversing with others.We operate the local 2 meter VHF repeater VE7RSM which is located on Sinkut Mountain at the 5400 ft level. The frequency is 146.800 mhz receive and 146.200 mhz transmit. There is also a downtown repeater VE7RON operating on a frequency of 146.880 mhz (-.600). It also has an autopatch available * on # off.
Throughtout the year there are several oppourtunitites for interested persons to take the weekend basic course to obtain their basic licence. This will allow them to operate on frequencies of 50 mhz and higher.
