Welcome to the homepage of the Bulkley Valley Amateur Radio Society. We are an organization of amateur radio operators serving the public and each other. The hobby of amateur radio (also called "ham radio") provides technical education & practice, fellowship, and emergency communications in times of need.
This website presents information about our activities, facilities, and membership. We actively support new members and people studying to obtain an amateur radio license. We also maintain a presence on Facebook and Twitter.
