Greeting to all Hams!

October brought the SARA Flea market it was good to catch up with many of you and the local ham community. 

The response to the member survey has been excellent thank you for taking the time to give us you input so far we have 63 responses, it will remain open until this months general meeting. We will be publishing the summarized results within a few weeks of the close, your executive take your suggestions very seriously there will be some changes and some good discussion  as a result.

To try something new the general meeting this month on Oct 27th will start with a 30 minute show and tell starting at 7:30pm. This month it will be about the Raspberry Pi and ham radio by Robyn Greig VE6RBN the main program at 8 pm. will be a review of the recent trip to Pigeon Mountain and the current status of CaraNet (CARA's wide area IP based network)

Greetings to all Hams!

With September comes CARA's new year, there has been a few changes across the Summer, the website being a big part of that, thank you to all those involved, it's a work in progress but the emphasis  on a cleaner less cluttered  interface is i am sure welcome to most of you!

Also with our new year comes membership renewals at $35 for regular renewing members this remains outstanding value, and of course as a member gives you a vote at business meetings.

Coming soon is a member survey, we want to here from you and your views on the many aspects of CARA what we get right and what needs more work, this is your club, your executive represents you not just internally but to the greater Canadian and Worldwide community, so please give the survey the few minutes it will take to help us keep improving.

This months general meeting will be about field day and the great success it was thank you for your efforts as CARA hams and the greater ham community that made it a great event, I hope to have more opportunities for the greater ham community to come together regardless of which club we are part of in the future!
