Welcome to the Catalina Radio Club

NOTICE: Echolink to the W7SA repeater currently down, but new equipment has been received and we hope to have this service operating again soon. Stay Tuned!

For the 70 CM  Repeater, there is good news:

Our new Bridgecom repeater is here, installed, and working great!

The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, March 26th, 2025 @ 6:30 PM at the Cattletown Steakhouse & Saloon, 3141 E Drexel Rd, Tucson. We will be voting on updates to the club constitution.  For those members unable to attend please contact chairman Michael Perrett K7HIL.  Michael will also be discussing his measurements of the W7SA antennas.

Prior to the club meeting last month, there was an open house at the W7SA radio station and emergency communications center in 811R.  The 811 "Ham Shack" is the small modular building located between the two antenna towers.  The open house was intended for all Raytheon employees to see the capabilities of our club.  If Raytheon employees would like to schedule a future tour, please send us an email at W7SA-bod@googlegroups.com.

W7SA now has new repeaters on 2m and 70 cm, which are now online and functioning well. They are an open repeaters, so any licensed ham radio operator is welcomed to give it a try.  Any QRM reports related to our repeater should be send to W7SA-bod@googlegroups.com.

All Raytheon employees are welcome to join and participate in CRC activities. For further information, email to CRC Board of Directors, w7sa-bod@googlegroups.com

At this time, local Amateur Licensing exams and classes are offered by the Radio Society of Tucson club (K7RST), OVARC testing, and online (ARRL.ORG and others). The CRC does not currently provide license training, but with your help, we hope to change that in 2025.
