Across the
Entire Spectrum
Connecting Minds Across the Spectrum — from HF to microwave, emergency nets to digital modes.
Frequency Amateur Radio Club exists to advance the art and science of radio communication — fostering community, technical excellence, and public service through the spectrum.
From 80 metres to 10 metres, our operators run DX expeditions, contest weekends, and nightly nets connecting continents using skill and atmospheric propagation.
Our certified ARES team maintains trained operators and equipment for local emergency management, providing critical communications when infrastructure fails.
Regular antenna construction workshops, SDR evenings, digital modes training, and elmer mentorship programs develop technical depth in every member.
Our fully equipped club station — call sign W0FRQ — operates 24 hours a day with licensed supervisors on-site during all scheduled activities. Members have access to a full arsenal of HF, VHF/UHF, and satellite gear.
Whether you're brand new to radio or upgrading your existing license class, our elmer mentorship program and structured training pathway makes the journey achievable.
Visit one of our monthly open-house evenings. Meet members, see the station, and get your questions answered with no obligation or pressure.
Access our member study portal with practice exams, video lessons, and elmer sessions covering regulations, propagation, and electronics.
We host Technician and General class exam sessions monthly. Our volunteer examiners guide you through registration and testing logistics.
Your callsign is issued — the real adventure begins. Make your first contact on our nightly net, try your first DX, or log your first contest QSO.
Volunteer for ARES activations, run an antenna workshop, help a newcomer study for their ticket. Giving back is how our community stays strong.
Frequency ARC founded by 14 licensed operators. Club callsign W0FRQ issued by the FCC the following month. First net runs on 40 metres.
Partnership with local emergency management formalised. W0FRQ net activated during the regional ice storm, providing 72 hours of emergency traffic handling.
Club station upgraded with PSK31 and RTTY capability. Early adoption of Winlink and APRS positions us as regional digital-mode leaders.
Installation of dual-band satellite tracking antenna enables QSOs through FO-29, SO-50, and ISS. Club becomes regional satellite contact centre.
Whether you hold an amateur license or are still studying for your first ticket, Frequency ARC welcomes you. Fill out the form and we'll be in touch within 48 hours.
