Did you recently get a DSTAR capable radio, but have no idea how to use it? Join us on June 15, 2024 at 9:30 AM for a hands on workshop. Chris Bone (VA6CMB) will be running a hands on workshop on using your DSTAR equipment. The workshop will be held at Fire Station #3 in St Albert, located at 100 Giroux Road.
This event is open to all members of the ham radio community. You do not have to be an NCAARC member to attend.
Hope to see you there!
Upcoming hands on DSTAR workshop
VE6JKB is Online
After a long hiatus due to an equipment failure VE6JKB is back online. This is the club’s D-Star repeater. If you are in the area and have a D-Star radio give it a shot on 444.250+. We tested it today with Icom ID52 so I believe it should work for with the new D-Star radios as of this afternoon.
If you are having trouble getting in or notice something is wrong please send me an email at va6aws@ncaarc.ca.

Want to learn about DSTAR?
Hello NCAARC members. On Saturday – October 21, 2023 – 09:00 AM we have Chris Bone VA6CWB coming to present on D Star.
Awhile back, I sent an email out to members asking about interest in having Chris come to do this presentation and a number of you responded to say you would be interested.
All members – and any other interested hams – are invited to attend. We will meet at St Albert Fire Hall #3, 100 Giroux Rd., St. Albert, AB. As the presentation is comprehensive, Chris asked if we could plan for up to four hours. That is why we begin at 9:00 am and will run a bit later than we usually do.
If you have a D Star radio, bring it along.
If you have received this email and do not wish to receive this notice again, send a reply email to me requesting your email address to be removed.
There will not be a regular meeting until Saturday November 18, 2023 at 09:30 AM.
Hoping for a good turn-out.

Volunteers Needed!
As you may know a bulk of our funding comes from working a casino ever 2-3 years. Without this funding we would not be able to have the funds to work on the projects that we do and to support ongoing initiatives. If you have some time to volunteer and help out the club, please seem the message below from our casino chair, Paul.
We still need more volunteers for the October 2 and 3, 2023 Casino for the North Central Alberta Amateur Radio Club (NCAARC).
If you can volunteer, please sign up. And volunteer a friend or associate or family member who might like to join the fun.
Casino volunteer duties are easy, meals and snacks are provided, and the funds raised help support NCAARC’s activities. And you can visit with club members as well.
Please signup using the following link volunteersignup.org/8BQF3. If you are unable to use the link to sign up please send an email to board@ncaarc.ca and it will be passed to Paul.
Thank you for supporting your club!
