The Kamloops Amateur Radio Club is a non-profit organization that has been incorporated under the Society Act.

Our organization has been building and maintaining a network of Amateur Radio mountain top repeaters to enable voice and digital communications between a number of interior communities for many years.

A major factor in the establishment of our system has been to have in place, a wide ranging Amateur Radio Repeater and Data system in the event of a provincial or national emergency.
Our system is open for use by any visiting Amateurs to our area and is also utilized when our members assist the public for various reasons, i.e.: stranded motorists, finding lost hikers, accidents, etc. We also work with the Provincial Emergency Program during actual and training exercises.

To date we have repeaters in place on Greenstone Mt, Mt. Dufferin and Mt. Lolo serving the Kamloops area, Thynne Mt. serving the Coquihalla Highway, and South Forge Mt. serving Logan Lake, Merritt, Ashcroft and Highway #1 as far south as Lytton. Several of these repeaters are interlinked allowing communications throughout the whole system. For the most part, the cost of establishing and maintaining this system has been born by the donations of time and equipment from individual Amateur Radio Operators and the club.

Over the years, our members have volunteered many hours assisting various groups. As is frequently the case, the organization being helped by our club, was operating in an area or terrain which precluded the use of normal communication channels. We continue to help many other organizations in our community to safely conduct their events.
