Who we are

WA7VC, the Valley Camp Amateur Radio Group, serving the Upper Snoqualmie Valley community since 1995.

The home of WA7VC is Valley Camp , located 6 miles NE of North Bend WA.
We have onsite a tower with a 10/15/20 meter beam and 2m/220/440 high gain vertical.
5 trees on the property have pulleys at or above 80' allowing for easy long wire installations.
