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.

The club meets weekly, our monthly formal meeting is on the Second Sunday of each month at 3PM in the Centenial Arena on North Bluff. The other Sundays we meet in the Java Express located on 16th Ave near Martin Street. Here we share some of our new discoveries and toys and provide help to newer members, along with any club business matters. Please join us, we would love to have you and introduce you to the world of Amateur radio. Join our club net each Sunday at approximately 7:30PM - normally just after the Southern Section of the BC Public Service Net is finished.

The UHF repeater, VE7RYI @ 443.6+ has limited coverage in central White Rock only. Currently shutdown.
