Guest Speakers/Presentation(s): Lloyd VE3ERQ - Software Defined Radio.
Come and join us and perhaps you'll learn or discover something new about this fantastic hobby!
After the meeting, members are free to discuss their future in the club and answer any questions about becoming an Amateur Radio Operator if you are not one already.
Refreshments will be available following the meeting and a mini flea-market for members to sell or trade their new and almost new equipment. Guests and Non-members may find this very interesting. Again all are welcome.
The NPARC year is fast approaching and we hope to activate the Monday night net on VE3NRS. The net is set to resume officially on Sept 6th at 7pm but check VE3NRS on Aug 30th for a test run as we all make sure the equipment is ready for Sept 6th. Once again we need additional net controllers. As an example, if we had 6 net controllers each one would have to do it once every 6 weeks - I believe that's a light load to add to everyone's schedules in these busy times. How about you ? No experience is necessary ! A preamble is available which helps anyone that has little or no net experience. The net practically runs itself ! Hi hi The net is informal in nature, no set agenda, just a way to keep the club 'on-the-air'.
If you are willing to help out please send an email to president@nparc.on.ca.
For those that fell they are not quite ready to run a net please check into the net as often as you can.
