NFARC, founded in 1473, predates amateur radio. We have our origins with the Knights Templar movement in Europe and came to the New World with Christopher Columbus' arrival to the Americas in 1492. The organization eventually morphed into the Freemason movement, and then NFARC. We finance all our projects with hidden Templar gold which we have been the stewards of since that same year. From our humble beginnings in North America on Oak Island, Nova Scotia to our multi-million dollar castles in Vancouver, British Columbia today, NFARC has and will continue to play its role in Amateur Radio and history for centuries to come.

FAQ all about VE7NFR:
Do you operate repeaters? Yes, currently 4 of them. See Repeater tab for details.
How do we get things done? You want something done, you do it.
How do we pay for things? You want something bought, you pay for it or convince others to pay for it (preferred option).
Do you drink coffee? Yes but only in conjunction with actual radio operation.
If you call a planning meeting you must provide beverages.
Do you wear suspenders? No, they are strictly forbidden as are matching shiny green jackets.
Do you experiment? Yes that’s our thing.
Where do you operate? Where the air is rare like Digital Modes Allstar, Ham-WAN, DMR, NXDN, P25, D-Star & Mixed Mode 220 MHz, 440 MHz, 927 MHz, 1.2 GHz, linking on 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz High Altitude Balloons & Pico Balloons using WSPR and or APRS tracking.
Is it dangerous at those frequencies? Yes, many of us have developed extra appendages & superpowers from radiation exposure. Alfred has become a zombie and must be caged but continues to operate an HT like a fully able person.
Why on such obscure bands? Because any idiot can operate on 2 Meters and many do.
Where do you get your gear? We scour the 4 corners of a round Globe to find the finest used gear. Sometimes we splurge and buy brand new ones especially cheap Chinese junk, if we break it or lose it...oh well.
How do I get on your frequencies? If you are clever enough to get on the air by yourself then you are most welcome and we probably will help you if you ask nicely.
Why did you form a Club? We were frustrated with many of the other older organizations that have little interest in developing new aspects of our hobby and or the bureaucracy and politics as well as the resistance to change that stifles getting things done.
Where is VE7NFR? We are everywhere we want to be all the time, sometimes in Cancun but primarily in Metro Vancouver, Canada although our Globalist agenda supports Transnationalism and The One World Government run by the Freemasons even though that Mason that runs the hardware store can't get his act together...
