Groundwave, the OARC’s original newsletter
Groundwave was the OARC’s official bulletin from 1950 to 2021. Ian Jeffrey, VE3IGJ, was the editor for the last 17 years, and the OARC membership are truly grateful for his long and dedicated service. Mike Kelly VE3FFK holds the record for the longest continuous stretch of articles – longer than Ian’s tenure. We are happy to say that Mike is continuing to contribute articles and that they are published in the columnists section.
Visit the Groundwave archive
Past issues of Groundwave are stored as PDFs in a set of folders (opens in a new tab). Issues prior to 2000 are stored as PDF image files, which means there is no searchable text within them. From 2000 on, the PDFs include full text and images.
We are missing past issues of Groundwave
Below, you’ll find a list of Groundwave issues that the OARC library is missing. If you have any of them, please let us know. We would like to scan them and add them to the archive.
