Posted by Scott, KK6IK · September 18, 2026 6:47 PM

Hi all, I am looking for a few hearty souls - 4-5 of them - willing and able to help me take down a GAP Titan DX HF vertical antenna that is currently adorning my roof. Now that the weather is cooler but not wet, this is the perfect time for this activity.

Member of the Month is Coming Soon

WVARA is more than repeaters, radios, antennas, and meetings — it’s the people who bring the club to life. Our upcoming Member of the Month feature will introduce you to some of the operators who make our amateur radio community such an interesting and welcoming place.

Each month, we’ll spotlight a WVARA member and share a little about their journey into amateur radio, their favorite parts of the hobby, current projects, operating interests, and perhaps a story or two from along the way. We’re putting the finishing touches on this new feature now, so check back soon to meet our first featured member!
