Club Directory

The Mount Vernon Amateur Radio Club (MVARC) is comprised of about 80 hams from the Northern Virginia/Washington D.C./metro Maryland area. We are dedicated to serving the community through ARES and public service support, amateur radio licensing classes, and VE Amateur Radio License Testing.

With a membership of over 200 licensed amateur radio operators and twice-monthly meetings, VWS is among the largest and most active Amateur Radio clubs in Northern Virginia. Our program of radio-related activities and public service rests on three main pillars (outlined in our bylaws): (1) scientific, technological, and educational activities, (2) recreational operating activities, and (3) emergency service activities. Our members have a variety of interests from casual operating to contesting, DXing, experimenting, and emergency communications/public service.

The Vic Clark Chapter 91 of the Quarter Century Wireless Association serves the Washington, D. C. area. Our chapter usually meets once per month on the third Saturday at 11:30 a.m. Usually we meet at Glory Days Grill in Fairfax, Virginia, but check the club calendar for changes. We may have a speaker, take a field trip, have a picnic, or just have a social gathering. Visitors are welcome.

We are your neighbors, friends and relatives, the main thing we have in common is a desire to assist within our Georgia communities. We are federally licensed radio operators who volunteer our time and equipment to our communities whenever the need arises. We have provided communications during recent storms (Matthew and Irma) to a number of served agencies. Our district includes Bryan, Bulloch, Camden, Candler, Charlton, Chatham, Effingham, Emanuel, Evans, Glynn, Liberty, Long, McIntosh, Montgomery, Screven, Tattnall, Toombs, Wayne counties.
