Fun!
We host many fun volunteer events throughout the year to get the whole family involved. This is an excellent opportunity to connect with fellow hams in person, acquire new knowledge, and share your expertise to enhance the enjoyment of our hobby!
Weekly Nets
Join us every Sunday at 6:00PM for our New Ham Net and immediately following at 7:00PM for our Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) Net. We meet on 146.745 MHz with PL Tone 192.8. The New Ham Net is a great way for new and old hams alike to get comfortable on the air. Everyone is welcome to join both!
Emergency Communications
The derecho from 08/10/2020 hit Cedar Rapids killing three and damaged more than 65% of the city’s tree canopy (approx. 676,000)!
All forms of communication were lost. CVARC helped provide a needed form of emergency communication providing a source of weather information such as where to get gas, ice, food and much more.
Come Join Us In Person!
Every second Thursday of the month, we will be at Zion Lutheran Church, 201 1st Ave in Hiawatha. We have social time starting at 6:00pm central time, with the official meeting starting at 7:00pm.
Or join us on Zoom.

Technology is growing rapidly, and much of that growth has roots in amateur experimentation.
