The Illinois Valley Amateur Radio Club (IVARC) is dedicated to promoting the growth of radio use throughout the valley by providing assistance to anyone interested in becoming a radio operator. Whether you have never touched a radio before or are an experienced HAM radio operator, you are welcome here.

Our club was formed by people with common interests to share ideas and techniques with others. We welcome guests and members of all ages to join us and have fun communicating by radio throughout the valley, from Grants Pass to O’Brien and beyond.

We hope you become involved in this fun hobby and useful skill in the event on an emergency. We have a great network of people here in the valley communicating via radio and in person. Join us. Follow us on Facebook.
