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
Amateur Radio in the Chippewa Valley for over 63 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 repeaters are for the enjoyment of
the entire ham community in the Chippewa Valley.
The ECARC operates a well equipped
Amateur Radio Station
located at Grace Lutheran Church. The the station
is setup for chasing DX, Contesting, Net Operations or Rag
Chewing. The local DX spotting frequency is 146.550.
Join your fellow Hams and Chase some DX.
ECARC maintains an
email list. This is a great way to stay in contact with the club and local Amateur Radio operators.
ECARC participates in many contests during the year. One of
the club's favorite is the
Wisconsin QSO Party.
For the past four years the club has
captured First Place in the
Wisconsin QSO Party operating as W9EAU.
