    Support for LoSeCa foundation’s 5/10K Run

    Today members of the NCAARC assisted with communications support for the LoSeCa foundation’s 5 and 10 K run in St. Albert. Members deployed our communications trailer and setup stations along the route to provide assistance getting messages back to the race organisers. I must say this is the first event I have volunteered at that we’ve relayed back to race officials that there was a moose and her calf on the course! The weather cooperated for the runners, but I think all volunteers would agree with me another 5 degrees warmer would have been great for us.

    Thanks Paul (VE6PGA) for organizing the event from the club side. Thanks Ernie (VE6EC) and Dave (VE6SKI) for holding down the net control duties in the trailer. Thanks Gerry (VE6GBH), Jeff (VE6JXN), Jared (VA6JAW), and Steve (VE6CYR) for staffing the stations on the route. The event went off great, thanks to all your help. Looking forward to seeing you all on the next one!

  • Upcoming hands on DSTAR workshop

    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!

  • 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.
    73
