Who we are

SVARC members provide communications and serve the community of Placitas, New Mexico, and surrounding areas, especially in time of emergency.

We serve as "Elmers" or mentors, to amateurs who wish to upgrade their license class, and to those who wish to become amateur radio operators.

SVARC also conducts club programs and activities that promote the general interest in, and welfare of, Amateur Radio in the community.
