 Welcome to the website home of the White Rock Amateur Radio Club. Situated on the north shore of Semiahmoo Bay, White Rock is one of the garden cities of Canada. The Radio Club was formed at the request of long term resident and mayor, Hardy Staub, VE7IDY, to provide the city with an Amateur radio communication resource, should the need arise. White Rock enjoys a great location for Amateur Radio. Located on the south slope of a bluff running east-west on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, radio communications are almost unrestricted to the south and west with a clear shot over salt water in those directions. HF communications are possible over the North Pole to Europe and the Middle East as the nearest mountains are almost 100 Km to the north. Feel free to browse thorough these pages and use the links provided. If you live near or are visiting in the area, we’d love to hear you on our VHF repeater, or see you at one of our meetings. 73,
Ralph Webb, VE7OM |

The White Rock Club held their Field Day event at a new location this year. We decided early on to set up within the City of White Rock this year, hoping we could attract a few city officials to the site. Two options were considered, the White Rock beach area and the Centennial Arena. Our final choice was the arena and we were able to setup on the balcony as the weather was pleasant.  Club members started setting up shortly after 9am. Our first task was to get our antenna deployed. This we did on the flat roof of the administration section of the arena. Ralph Webb loaned us is go kit which included a loop antenna and some mast sections. We got that stretched out on the roof quite easily once some concrete blocks loaned by Eric Kehler were brought into action. The weight helped stabilize the tripod holding the mast. Later in the day Ralph setup up his buddy pole in a vertical configuration and we used it for the second half of our time. |
