General
The Volunteer Radio Group (VRG), is a loose knit group of Diefenbunker volunteers with a common interest in radio. Our activities are not limited to radio-type work and volunteers are encouraged to get involved in other Museum activities.
Within the VRG there exist a group of licensed radio operators known as the Diefenbunker Amateur Radio Club (DARC). DARC members have committed to spending a minimum of 4-hours/month to operate VE3CWM during Museum visitor hours and to engage, inform, and entertain visitors.
As volunteers, VRG and DARC members have access to the Museum any time the Museum is open. If you are a licensed or potential amateur radio operator (Ham) you can apply to become a Diefenbunker volunteer and VRG/DARC member by responding to opportunities as they are posted on https://diefenbunker.ca/job-and-volunteer-opportunities/.
While you need to be a licensed amateur operator to operate VE3CWM you don’t need a radio license to help on the various projects, both radio and non-radio.
