2025 Pumpkin Patrol
CARG and MAARC Merbers,
It's that time again for the Pumpkin Patrol.
As in previous years, those who took part last year will be given 1st choice in the zone they patrolled, unless I'm informed otherwise.
I'm therefore requesting that those volunteers who are able to take part in this year's patrol to advise me by 8am Thursday 30th of October.I will need the make/model of vehicle, license plate number, your cellphone number, and the name of the person who will accompany you in the case where this person is not an amateur.
I know it's short notice, but I know I can count on your support.

VE9HOA ACTIVATION
Glen, VE9GK advised me this morning on the Wed. morning social Net that on Saturday, Sept. 27 he and Gary will be activating VE9HOA (Hills on the Air) from near St. John on 146.520 MHz Simplex. Should be on the air from around 10am - 1pm or until there are no more stations calling them. They are mapping the area of Southeastern New Brunswick looking for good sites to use for emergency communications in case the repeaters go dark.

MAARC Field Day
Date: Saturday, June 21stTime: Any time after 8AMLocation: 137 Babineau placeNotre Dame NBE4V 1S9
A message from Mike VE9MK, this year's Field Day host:OK, so with just a few days remaining on our MAARC 2025 field day event happening.
All amateurs and future members are invited here at my location to take part, meet and greet others for some conversation. Don't be shy, come for a minute or 24 hours. I will have some food (chicken Frico) I should have lots of seating, however should you bring your own I would suggest adding your name or call sign on it. I'll have bottle and can barrels along with garbage receptacles. I will have Shade sails, canopies along with an air conditioned area in case of extreme heat for cooling down. Bathroom facility on site with a flush and spray LOL....... I will have a fridge ready with water on hand along with coffee and tee for those who require it. I will have some caffeine free tee as well. Also on site I will make my travel trailer available if some require a place to rest. If weather is warm I will put ac on in it as well. I will have a BBQ available as well should you not want Frico for the standard stuff like Hot Dogs or Hamburgers.I know I forgot something as I usually do....lol
Oh I forgot to mention that I am on a private road with a "maximum" of 20kph and appreciate along with my neighbors adhering to this or lower, as at 20 it creates dust.
Thanks
Looking forward to seeing you all.
