ABOUT
The Renfrew County Amateur Radio Club Inc. is the official Radio Amateurs of Canada affiliated club for Renfrew County in Ontario, Canada. We’re a community of radio enthusiasts dedicated to promoting amateur radio through on-air activity, technical learning, and local connection.
NET
We host a weekly net every Monday at 7:30 PM across all club repeaters—everyone is welcome to check in and join the conversation.
BREAKFAST
Each month, members gather for an informal breakfast meet-up in either Deep River or Pembroke—an easy way to connect face-to-face with fellow hams.
TECH NIGHT
We also run Tech Night, a Zoom call held twice a month on Thursday evenings, where members share projects, troubleshoot problems, and explore new ideas in amateur radio and electronics.
Curious about our roots? Check out the History or visit the Events page for upcoming activities and a library of past Tech Night recordings.
