Welcome to Yavapai Amateur Radio Club

Welcome to the Yavapai Amateur Radio Club’s (YARC) website. YARC serves the quad cities area of Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley/Paulden, and Dewey/Humboldt. We are a group that enjoys the diverse aspects of ham radio. YARC is also an ARRL Special Service Club that is dedicated to public service and emergency preparedness. YARC is one of the largest amateur radio clubs in the state of Arizona with about 300 members. One of our goals is to enable interested persons to get their FCC amateur radio license and also grow their knowledge and enjoyment of the hobby. This web site is a place for club members to gather and share information. Please check back on a regular basis for news and updates.

Need help? We have an Elmer Group Site Survey Form that can help you get your station set up and antenna installed. Download this form, fill it out and send this filled out form to ask.elmer@w7yrc.org and we will schedule a visit to come out and do a site survey.
