We need 10 volunteer hours logged in order to be eligible for funding from Challenge for Charities. Please help us get the hours that we need. You can help by volunteering at one of the events listed here, and selecting Central Wyoming Amateur Radio Club under the "Connections" section.  Note that only some events are eligible.  If you don't see the club in the menu, try something on or around the 4th of July  race:  https://www.landerconnected.org/

CWARC currently has several goals in need of funding:

• Restoring a radio repeater site on Griffy Hill (Near Riverton Airport).  When restored, community Amatuer and GMRS communication for recreation and emergencies will be greatly enhanced.  This site has been leased to amateur radio operators by the City of Riverton at a steep discount to support the community, but it is in need of significant upgrades and repairs.  Restoring the site will require a concrete foundation, a new radio tower, a new power service, solar panels and batteries.  CWARC will provide cleanup and restoration work as funds become available.
• Expansion of GMRS radio coverage. GMRS is a commonly used “walkie-talkie” radio, and our repeaters can increase the range tenfold. We currently have one GMRS repeater in final testing before permanently deploying, and some of the equipment needed to build another.   We are striving to build out GMRS coverage for the Lander Area and Wind River Mountains.
• A better meeting camera to enhance club meetings for less mobile and distant club members.  CWARC aspires to include Fremont and Sublette counties.  Because of this large area, remote meetings are a necessity.
