Monthly Meetings are an opportunity for current and prospective members to come out and meet fellow amateur radio operators. It is a great opportunity to network, put a face to people you talk to on the radio and to approve business decisions and conduct technical presentations for the benefit of members. For new or prospective members, it is a great opportunity to ask questions and see what the club is all about. All are welcome!
We hold a weekly drop-in at the club house every Wednesday at 9:00 am that everyone is welcome to attend at the clubhouse, 279 Halifax Street in Moncton. We also host the club social net on VE9TCR 147.345+ and VE9SHM 449.325- tone 100.0 hz at the same time. Drop in to one, or both as your time allows. Lola is always looking for more pets at the clubhouse especially.
We hold a Monthly Members Meeting every third Saturday of the Month. Our next meeting is posted on the front page of this site. The September meeting is designated as the Annual General Meeting at which Members serving on the Executive are elected.
We also host Events such as Field Day, a Flea Market, a Christmas Party and others through out the year. Verified dates are posted as they become available.
Hope to see you there!

Unfinished business is we have the service manual for the Yaesu FT-736 satellite station and we will attempt to fix it in house and not have to send it out.
An in depth financial report was made by Gordon, VE9GC. A motion to approve the financial report was made by Gordon, VE9GC and seconded by Misha, VE9GIS. The motion carried. There was no MAARC Flea Market 2026 will be on Saturday, September 19 in Riverview. Dave, VE9PTT and Keith, VE9ELA have been working on ideas for the door prizes and raffle prizes with the main draw being done at 11am. The meeting for September will be on the second Saturday, September 12 with the Flea Market on the third Saturday.
With no meeting in July, we will have the summer BBQ at Centennial Park on Saturday, July 3 with a backup date of Sunday, July 4 in case of rain. Gordon, VE1AJF suggested we test the Alpha Delta dipole antenna before Field Day as last year the 40 meter portion would not tune. No webmaster report but the MAARC web site looks great. JP, VE9BK spoke about CARG and requested we get the VE9MCD out of storage and on the air so as to test the new solar panels.
Some discussion about installing IRLP on one of the MAARC repeaters. It was noted that the All Star node on the VE9MCT repeater has a bridge that already does both IRLP and Echolink. It was suggested that we talk to Stephen, VE9SC as he is the All Star guru. Cam, VE9CAM advised he and Gordon, VE1AJF went to Fundy Park and found the VE9TCF had been powered down. A simple flip of the switch on the power bar and it was back on the air.
A motion to adjourn was made by Oscar, VE9OSK. The 50/50 cash draw was won by Ross, VE9GCS who donated his portion back to the repeater repair fund for a total of $68.
