Welcome to the Eau Claire Amateur Radio Club
inc. web site.
The club is located in
Eau Claire, Wisconsin USA.
The Eau Claire Amateur Radio Club (ECARC) has been the home for
Ham Radio in the Chippewa Valley for over 62 years..
Founded in 1947 by a group of
Federal
Communication Commission (FCC) licensed amateur radio operators
"HAMS"
who shared an interest in the hobby of amateur radio.
The club was incorporated
as a
Wisconsin non-stock,
not-for profit corporation in 1960.
We are affiliated with the
Amateur Radio
Relay League and have earned the designation as a Special
Service
and Mentor Club.
The club is comprised of amateur radio operators, who meet
monthly, from various backgrounds. Though we all have
individual differences, we all share our interest in the hobby
of amateur radio with its many facets. Some members like
Contesting,
Chasing DX, Public Service or Operating Nets. Others prefer the
VHF aspect of local contacts via the club's repeaters on
146.910
Mhz with four Remote Receive sites
and 147.240 Mhz
(Tone 110.9 Hz).
The ECARC operates a well equipped Amateur Radio Station for
use by club members and prospective Hams.
The Club callsign is

The ECARC participates in many contests during the year. One of
the club's favorite is the
Wisconsin QSO Party.
For the past two years the club has captured
First Place in
the WI QSO Party

W9EAU from the
W0AIH
Contest Station.
Since 1993, the ECARC Volunteer Examination Team have
administered over 700 Amateur Radio Examinations.
The Federal
Communications Commission and ARRL accredited examination
sessions are held four times a year
