About Us

The Powhatan Area Radio Club (PARC) is a community of amateur radio operators established in 2017. The club offers both fun and educational opportunities for its members, with a commitment to helping both seasoned and new operators enjoy Amateur Radio. The "Ham-Breakfast" is a monthly gathering held at the County Seat restaurant at 8:00 AM on the third Saturday of every month, except in December. We would love to see you there!
