The Las Vegas Radio Amateur Club (LVRAC) is the oldest amateur radio club in Las Vegas, founded in April 1961. As an ARRL Affiliated Club, LVRAC is dedicated to fostering a love for radio technology and wireless communication as a hobby. The club consists of licensed ham radio operators from all walks of life, united by their interest in wireless communications technologies.

In addition to engaging in radio technology as a hobby, LVRAC members also provide essential public service to the community. They support organizations like Red Rock Search and Rescue and assist local government agencies during emergencies when regular communication systems fail. Many members are part of the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES), a volunteer organization supporting various government agencies.

LVRAC actively promotes interest in amateur radio by providing education on communications technologies to schools and youth groups, including the Boy Scouts. The club also maintains a comprehensive radio communication network consisting of VHF and UHF repeaters that cover the Las Vegas valley and Clark County. If you're a licensed ham radio operator, feel free to join the weekly LVRAC Net held on Tuesdays at 7:00 PM local time on the K7UGE repeater system.

And if you're new to ham radio or simply interested in learning more, LVRAC holds regular meetings on the third Wednesday of every month, offering an opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts and expand your knowledge. Interested individuals are encouraged to become members of the Las Vegas Radio Amateur Club. LVRAC is a nonprofit corporation, recognized by the IRS under section 501(c)(3), and donations to the club are tax-deductible.
