JRC Radio ClubSome of us arranged for a “punitive” expedition to the Radiant fair, with exhibitors in the fields of electronics, technology, computers, hi-tech ..and of course radiant.
The expedition was successful. It was necessary to use the luggage compartment of JM’s pickup truck to put all the junk we got for ourselves….
On Dec. 18, 2022, we mobilized to provide radio assistance to the laudable charity initiative organized by our colleagues from the JRC Joint Running Club: the“I Runfor Purple” run. Braving the inclement weather, as more than 250 people paced the streets of Ispra, we set up a dozen race support and assistance points.
This is also the first time our club has been officially mentioned and thanked, which is always nice. The greatest pleasure remains being available to people, with a hobby that also has a social utility.
I’d say we’re starting to get the hang of it!
On October 16, 2022, tests of the civil defense radio systems of the province of Varese were held. Once again many of us contributed to the successful outcome of the exercises by going out to activate stations in various municipalities around the province. With the occasion, some novice radio amateurs (fresh from a course taught by our valiant Claudio IK2YWN) were introduced to this magical world of emergency communications. The usual gargantuan morning breakfast before rehearsals could not be missed…see you next time!
On October 2, 2022, we provided radio assistance among ARI Varese volunteers for the safety of the “Gran Fondo – Tre Valli Varesine” bicycle race, one of the most prestigious bicycle races. Armed with batteries, antennas and battle radios, we had a good day among crashed cyclists and homemade buns. See you next time!
On June 5, 2022, some of us lent assistance to the “Run with Samia- Lake Comabbio Run” by setting up one of the radio stations along the race route. It was a useful experience to test our mobile equipment and to seriously consider the next purchase of an easy-to-assemble gazebo 🙂

On May 15, we organized a “school field trip” to the Montichiari Electronics and Amateur Radio Fair. In addition to the predictable hoarding of spare parts and numerous episodes of compulsive shopping for various devilry, it all culminated in a delicious lunch at a local trattoria, washed down with some excellent wine. In short, a good day. We will definitely reorganize forMarch 11-12, 2023.
Wednesday 13 April 2022 at 9 pm, at the ARI headquarters in Largo Gigli 2 in Varese, the amateur radio exam course will begin.
The instructor will be our fellow club member, Claudio Bergonzi IK2YWN of the JRC Radio Club.
The course aims to prepare future radio amateurs to pass the ministerial test required by law which will take place in Milan at the regional office of the Ministry for Economic Development. Participants will be provided with a basic knowledge of radioelectric phenomena, of the rules governing radio communications and the radio amateur service, as well as all the basic operational notions that a radio amateur must know. The topics will be explained in a simple and easy way for everyone to understand, in order to allow you to pass the theory exam and become a full-fledged radio amateur.
For more information, you can contact the ARI Varese office directly.
Many of us are going to participate in the annual test of the VHF / ARI emergency radio communications network of the Varese province. This is organized by the Varese Prefecture and the Italian Amateur Radio Association.
Basically we “man” the radio stations fitted in the town halls of the province, to carry out a functionality test, using both voice and digital transmission techniques.
Stay tuned … in every sense! 🙂
A daring patrol of radio amateurs decided to start the JRC Radio Club!
JRC stands for Joint Research Center, a directorate of the European Commission (also known as JRC, Joint Research Center, formerly Euratom).
We have no affiliations with the Japan Radio Company 🙂
