There are no ARES meetings scheduled during the summer months, we will be using what we have learned by taking part in various activities such as Field Day, and Ride for Literacy. The next CBSS ARES (City of Barrie and South-Simcoe Amateur Radio Emergency Service) meeting will take place in September. Any Amateur Radio Operator interested in this increasingly important aspect of our hobby is welcome to attend. Training sessions on the use of voice and various digital modes are part of these meetings. Contact the club for more info.

Club Repeater VE3RAG On The Air

The Barrie Amateur Radio Club repeater VE3RAG is now on the air at its new home on the Ferndale water tower near the city land-fill site. It was put into service around noon on 9 September 2009. A 50W Motorola  MSR2000 has been tuned-up by Ron VA3NLS, and the duplexer filters have been tuned by Bob VE3BFM. The antenna is at approximately 220 feet above ground level (about 1100 feet ASL) with an ERP of approximately 20W. VE3RAG 147.000+ requires a 156.7Hz tone for access.

 

You should carry a copy of the new Ontario Regulation 366/09 of the Highway Traffic Act and a copy of your Amateur Radio License in your vehicle with you. Item 13 of 366/09 refers to the "time-limited exemption for amateur radio operators".
