Washington, Iowa, USA

Welcome to the WAARC homepage.

The Washington Area Amateur Radio Club is committed to providing community and emergency communications service to Washington County residents. Our club represents years of technical and emergency communications expertise.

We have been asked to provide radio communications at a local event, a triathalon of sorts starting with a 5K run, then a 20 mile bike ride, ending with a 1.5 mile run. The sponsor is the same local group that sponsored the Demon Dash (Pictures) that we assisted with this spring.
It will be held Saturday AM September 25th and will probably last a couple hours or so.
All you need to participate is an HT portable (spare batteries would be wise) and the willingness to help! I will have more details soon. So, for now mark your calendars if you are able to help and I'll pass on more info as I get more to pass. Thanks for your past and continued support.
73, ABØDX

PS. If you have a bright orange or yellow traffic vest please plan to bring it with you.
I have several but may not have enough for everybody.


We gratefully thank the Washington County Riverboat Foundation for the generous grant towards the purchase of emergency communication equipment for the benefit of Washington County residents. It will be put to good use!
