Long time MAARC member Robert “Bob” Oak, VE1YM, passed away on March 9, 2022 in Moncton, NB. Bob was an excellent electronic technician and was instrumental in helping establish the MAARC repeaters we enjoy in the Moncton area. The executives and members of MAARC send our condolences to the family and friends of Bob and are saddened to hear that his Morse Code key has now gone silent.
