November 2021 virtual meeting

Hello All

Another spectacular, exciting, entertaining and just plain wonderful SARC Zoom meeting is being held near you. Participation is just a click away. How much closer can it get.

With a build up like that who wouldn't want to join in. - So come one - come all and join us for a boisterous event where we may actually discuss radio things.

Bring along any ideas you have for our new repeater. We need some cavities to complete the project. Unfortunately I misplaced my notes which noted that some Sinclair cavities were available for our application. Please let me know if they are still available. The club would greatly appreciate your support.

Please tune in on Tuesday evening. Subscribe to our mailing list for connection details.

May virtual meeting

Hello SARC

Well it is long overdue but it is now official. We will be having another exciting SARC Zoom meeting featuring a presentation on a HF portable station in a box build by Dave Sepulveda KD2PMU. He has put together some very practical ideas on how to execute a well designed ready to go station. This will be especially interesting for those who wish to do some outdoor radio for events like Parks On The AIR, Lighthouse Activations, Field Day or having a kit for the weekend at the cottage.

I look forward to seeing you all at the meeting on Monday

February 15 Zoom meeting

It's Time For Another SARC Virtual Meeting


It has been a while since our last SARC virtual meeting so let's do it again.

.
This Monday Family Day February 15th from 8 to 10 PM.


We have a couple of interesting topics being presented for our enlightenment.

Rydberg Quantum Receiver

How about a receiver that tunes from 0 to 20 GHz without an antenna. How about an atomic radio that tunes the Radio Waves directly. How about a radio that receives the entire radio spectrum. This fascinating radio will be explored in a presentation by Joe VE3FMQ.


I am looking forward to learning more about this exciting new receiver technology.

Arduino and Amateur Radio

Next we will explore some basic ideas and amateur radio applications for the wonderful Arduino computer platform. Adrian VA3NNA will cover the basics in the world of Arduino devices that can be applied to many interesting projects. This should be a very illuminating presentation on the fundamentals of Arduino sorcery.


Please join us this Monday evening for another Scarborough Amateur Radio Club virtual meeting where we can exchange our ideas and experiences in this wonderful world of radio technology.


Hope to see you on Monday.

January 11 Zoom meeting

Hello SARC

Well 2020 was a year to get over. I want to wish all of you a much
better 2021 and hope that all is well with you.

This is our first Zoom meeting for 2021 and it promises to be a lot of
fun. So many things to discuss.

The are several ideas floating about such as a CW training / refresher
course. The introduction of some home brew construction projects. These can be a lot of fun and some are quite experimental such as unusual antenna designs and simple but useful kits. How about a junk box swap meet. I know there are a lot of you out there with overflowing junk boxes that have some parts that need a new home.

Let's make this an exciting year where we open up new channels of club
activity and more frequent Zoom meetings some of which are topic driven.

As well we have a few members with some great presentation ideas that we can enjoy. If you have some presentation ideas please bring them forward.

There is a lot to talk about and a lot to plan for the new year. So
let's put 2020 behind us and enjoy 2021.

See you on Monday 8PM. Login details to follow.

By the way the Sunday morning net is still on for 10:30.
