Welcome!


We'd like to tell you a little bit about the Amateur Radio Caravan Club ( ARCC ). We own and operate a repeater site on Sandia Crest in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Our repeater formerly known as WA5VKY, has been re-named W5CSY - in Honor of Vern Thackeray, silent key in December of 2004. His spirit lives on... Our repeater site has 2 meter on 145.33 Mhz, and 70 cm. on 444.0 Mhz. Both repeaters require a 100 hz PL tone. The repeaters normally operate in a linked cross band repeat mode but can be unlinked for special operating circumstances.

We meet on the second Friday of each month from October through May at 7:00pm at Heights Cumberland Presbyterian Church 8600 Academy rd (corner of Academy and Moon), in Albuquerque. We have some very interesting programs and presentations at our meetings. During the summer months we co-sponsor Field Day activities, have a picnic at the Crest repeater site, host a tailgate "hamfest" in April. In early fall we have a corn roast and potluck. Members are invited and encouraged to provide communications for walks, bicycle rides, runs, horse trials in Santa Fe, Duke City Marathon, etc.


The Club holds a Net each Sunday evening at 9:00pm local time on 145.33 Mhz for the purpose of holding club business, passing traffic, making announcements of interest to Hams and just getting to know each other. Please join us on the NET, we welcome everyone!


Clubs are good support for Hams and we'd welcome the opportunity to help you in any way that we can. We invite you to come to a meeting, talk to us on the Sunday night Net, and join with the Amateur Radio Caravan Club!
