The Van Wert Amateur Radio Club is looking for local amateur radio operators to assist with traffic handling at this year’s Klondike Derby.

Time: (published event schedule) 8:00am – 4:00pm
Place: Camp Lakota – 2180 Ginter Rd, Defiance, OH 43512
More specifics will be provided as they are made available.

It’s time to dust off your Yagi-Uda and your favorite HT for our fall fox hunt!
Date: Saturday, November 1, 2025
Time: 9:00am (upon conclusion of the monthly club breakfast)
Place: You didn’t think it would be that easy, did you?
This year, we’re aiming set the boundaries as wide as practical, covering the entirety of Defiance County. Listen on the local nets on Thursday evenings to see when John St. Peter (KD8JSP) will be testing the fox.
Technically, no transmitting is required to participate in a fox hunt, so even if you’re not licensed, you can still join the fun!
For more information on fox hunts, please visit the AARL website resources on directional finding.
