Welcome!
The Valley Radio Club of Oregon (formerly Valley Radio Club of Eugene), located in Eugene, Oregon, was chartered in 1929, and is one of the oldest continuously operated club stations in the United States. It has been affiliated with the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) since 1932, and associated with the American Red Cross from 1951 to 2019.
If you are a newly licensed ham operator in our community, please come on by and meet other hams. Our membership is diverse, with ham radio experience ranging from several months to many decades! Let us share our ham experiences with you, and you’ll see what ham radio fun is all about! Sign up for the VRC Reflector (instructions)

President’s Message
Field Day was a blast and is in the past.
Board nominations and elections are the new order of the day.
The club has a bright future, and maybe someday YOU will serve on the board of directors.
The Nominating Committee is taking its job seriously of presenting to the membership a full slate of candidates for board positions. The committee will provide status updates on the Reflector.
Nominations from the floor may be made at the August club meeting. Nominations will close at the end of the August meeting, so the committee has time to conduct electronic voting if needed.
For board positions with a single nomination, a simple voice vote will be held at the September club meeting.
For board positions with more than one candidate, a private link to an electronic ballot will be sent to each member. The ballot will list the contested positions and candidates and will ask for your vote. We have tested this procedure and it is simple and easy to follow.
We look forward to your participation in this process.
Thank you, and see you on the air!
Gary AG7TH
