About the Club
The club is the focal point for Amateur Radio activities on the Central Coast of NSW. It has a membership of over 80 people of all ages and amateur radio interests.
The CCARC was formed in 1957. The club has it’s own clubrooms at Kariong with a well-equipped radio room (shack), workshop and meeting room. We also operate several Voice, D-Star, Amateur Television and Packet (data) repeaters from our repeater site at Somersby and the clubrooms at Kariong.
The CCARC organises the biggest Hamfest in Australia, each February at Wyong Race Course. It is now known as the “Central Coast Hamfest”.
The club supports WICEN, and the annual Scout and Guides Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) held in October and is affiliated with the Wireless Institute of Australia and Amateur Radio NSW.
The Club meets for a Monthly Business Meeting on the first Friday of the month in the clubrooms at 7.30 pm. The clubrooms are generally open from 10.30 am each Saturday and a project and development group meet each Tuesday in the clubrooms at 7.30pm.
