Western Amateur Radio Explorers

Welcome to the Western Amateur Radio Explorers web page!

We were created to support and encourage Amateur Radio Communications in the outback while off-roading, camping, backpacking, hiking – and just exploring our beautiful world!

Officers:
Jim Siemons, W6LK – President
Misa Siemons, KJ6BUE – Vice-President
Emily Siemons Roncancio, AI6OQ – Treasurer

Chuck Smith, KK6SQO – Director
Susan Green, KM6SUS – Director
Jenny Ward, KA6JEN – Director

Promoting and supporting Amateur Radio use in wilderness environments saves lives, helps promote the activities, increases opportunities for exploration, and supports public safety and emergency communications.

The commitment towards providing help and education towards the best use of Amateur Radio to folks found along the trail, and to other clubs is exactly what the Western Amateur Radio Explorers is all about!

When in the outback, one of the greatest tools that you can carry is your Amateur Radio. With an Amateur Radio license, and a respect for the rules of Part 97, great enjoyment, piece of mind, and safety can be accomplished.

We are now over 30 members strong!

Please join us!
