Welcome to the Treasure Valley Radio Association, an ARRL affiliated amateur radio club serving ham radio operators in the
Southwestern Idaho and Southeastern Oregon area. TVRA's main goals is to promote quality amateur radio communications, to
provide public service and educational training in amateur radio. We wish to improve good will within our local areas, and
enjoy ourselves in the process. Our Volunteer Examiners provide ham license testing on a monthly basis. Contact us if you
are interested in amateur radio or desire further information in this amazing hobby.
Community Service Activities
Our club is very active in supporting community activities in many different ways. We provide communications support for several
parades in our local area. The club sponsors a safety coffee break over Thanksgiving weekend. This event is held at an Interstate
I-84 rest stop on the Idaho/Oregon border. We greet road weary travelers by providing coffee, cookies, and other refreshments, with
a little home town hospitality. In the past we have assisted community sponsored go cart races and have provided communications for
floods and disasters.
Other Club Activities
Many of TVRA members enjoy some of the social activities sponsored by our club officers. A monthly breakfast is held on the first Saturday
of each month. Our monthly club meeting is held at a local restaurant where many have a meal before the start of the meeting. We hold an annual
Christmas party with fun games and a gift exchange. Summer fun activities include picnics with fox hunts, club contest operations and a field
day operations at various location in the Southeastern Oregon / Southwestern Idaho area.
