Vienna Wireless Society

Vienna Wireless Society We are a ham radio organization based out of Vienna, Virginia. We are very active with each other, as well as with the public.

Our events include: numerous meetings, high altitude balloon launches, and public events. Repeater info -

The Vienna Wireless Society operates two repeaters.

146.685(-) CTCSS – 110.9 Hz Located in Tysons, Virginia (Call sign K4HTA).

448.375(-) Located at Fair Oaks Hospital (Call sign K4XY). Both the 2m and 70 cm VWS repeaters are available for general Amateur Radio use. However, when an emer

gency is declared, either one or both of the repeaters may be dedicated for use by the Fairfax County ARES/RACES organization. Please listen before transmitting to determine if and how the repeaters are currently being used. It is always a good radio practice to begin by asking “is this repeater is in use?” On Monday evenings at 8pm, the 2m repeater is used for the VWS Monday Evening 2m net. Consider joining the net, and if you are new to Amateur Radio let us be your first contact! The net is open to all licensed Amateur Radio operators.

VWS Club station is up for business. Get the signup form link from your club email.

Thank you all for working the club station at our informal clubhouse American Legion Post 180 during the VA QSO Party. The facility was great. Lots of space, water, restrooms, and good parking (on upper upper lot). And yes, two bottles of champagne.

Infinite thanks to Dean Souleles KK4DAS for making the club station a reality, and all other volunteers who helped with the antenna installation. Well done.

Pop champagne and check out the new VWS club station with us at American Legion Post 180, 330 Center St N, Vienna, VA 22180.

Saturday 21 March 3:00pm to 7:00pm.

In the upper Patriot Hall (not the bar!). Pizza served (and maybe champagne...)

Our inaugural event is the Virginia QSO Party where we share the HF QSO love for Virginia. The theme? VIRGINIA IS FOR LOVERS.
Our plan: try out the new radio, new facilities, new operators and eat pizza. We expect "learning events" as a first spin of the club radio dial. What will go wrong????

Never done an SSB/phone/voice event? This is your chance. Lots of folks to talk to, low stress, and lots of support. It's all about the LOVE.

Event details here: https://www.qsl.net/sterling/uf1.htm

Highlights....we get bonus points if we complete a "Lover's Quest" contacting six special 1x1 operators.
