Wednesdays Weekly
@ The Cabin 8pm
This is an informal gathering that primarily was originally set up to organise and and put together our Satellite operating system.
THE CLUB
Based in St Albans, UK, VARC is over 65 years old, with monthly meetings and a number of regular activities including the ‘Antenna Shootout’ and the ‘Foxhunt’
We currently meet on the 3rd Monday of the month.
THE CABIN
At VARC we are very lucky to have our cabin which is an excellent resource for our members, This site enables members to experiment with their own or the clubs equipment on an aerial system few can fit in their garden and make a more competitive entry in contests. It also houses a number of VARC supported repeaters.

Directions to our cabin can be found on this webpage – contact peter@g0oik.co.uk for the password.
