1962 – ARRL VHF Contest
One of our Scarborough Amateur Radio Club members, Don Fisher (VE3ESE) won the ARRL VHF contest Award in 1962. Here is a scan of the award.
1961 – Keith Russell Trophy
In 2009, Lee Jennings ZL2AL (now a Silent Key) wrote from New Zealand:
I belonged to the SARC club back in the late 50s/early sixties. In fact I was the Field Day co-ordinator then and managed to obtain VE3WE for the club. Barney and Eva, Al and Babs Wilson, Bob Mortlock VE3BTV and others were the stalwarts of the day. I have a photo of the Keith Russell FD Trophy (BTW - I knew Keith, VE3AL and his son Tim, VE3WL) being presented to myself as Co-ordinator, Bill Cate (then VE3CLT) as Prez by Noel Eaton VE3CJ. I am 72 now and this photo needs to be on your web page and not lost to the club forever.

On a rainy afternoon I am doing some scanning of old SARC records and here is the first ever issue of a news letter for SARC, dated March of 1948, Vol 1, No. 1.
Reading through this old newsletter you can see that things do not change very much. HI.

In this issue is is mentioned that SARC took up meeting at "Barney's Basement" on May 11, 1948. If you speak to some of the old timers they do recall "Barney's Basement". North side of Kingston Road just West of Midland Avenue. I was never in the basement but did visit the store after school a few times.

1959 – Article from CQ Magazine – VE3SRC Calling
Gord VE3CNA has been scanning material from the SARC archives. In the 1950s, SARC's newsletter was called VE3SRC Calling after the club call sign then in use. Here is an article about it from CQ Magazine, August 1959. We hope to have a few issues of VE3SRC Calling available soon.
