The Peak Radio Association (W7PRA) is based in Corvallis, Oregon and endorses and supports the network of peak radio linked repeater system. In addition, our members support a variety of local activities involving the amateur radio community such as various county ARES groups and fellowship nets on this repeater system. Check out the club meeting videos (menu on top left of this page) for some of the educational topics we have covered during meetings.
Meetings are held the 3rd Monday of the month at 19:00 (7:00 PST).

and if enough interest, a 2M simplex contest, exercising our capabilities on 2M via simplex modes only - a short friendly contest where you can get some first-hand experience with contesting and learn about your radio and antenna capabilities.
Note about websites: There are two websites w7pra.com and www.peakradio.org. The first is focused on the repeater and the second on the club. Chris, AB7BS, manages all aspects of the repeaters and the W7PRA Repeater Donation Link above designates funds strictly for that purpose. Club memberships supports other aspects concerning safety, education, and fun supporting many aspects such as events, providing equipment (e.g., band pass filters during events), and also supporting the repeater system.
In person meeting information will be posted on the Club Calendar
