MAARC Training goes Virtual during COVID-19 Pandemic keeping new Students Connected

4/15/2020

 
With the COVID-19 Pandemic shutting down social gatherings around the country, MAARC member and Training Lead, Yvon Hachey moved quickly to setup a virtual training environment for the current students already halfway through the Basic Class to be able to complete the course.

Utilizing a new private Facebook Group just for the students, Yvon along with our other volunteer trainers are now using Facebook live video broadcasting to teach the students virtually. Students log in every Saturday morning at the normal training time where our trainers broadcast live from their home. Students are able to ask questions and submit feedback live to the trainer during the broadcast. The videos are then saved to the group for future review. The trainers are also able to post tips and study materials for the students to utilize.

With this level of dedication from our volunteers, we are confident our current class of future Radio Operators will be successfully licensed in no-time. Thank you to everyone involved with our Basic Training Class.

​MAARC Establishes COVID-19 Net

4/12/2020

 
Since MAARC members are no longer able to congregate at the Clubhouse on Wednesday mornings due to the COVID-19 restrictions, MAARC has establishment the MAARC Wednesday Morning Get-together Net. The concept of having such a net was expressed by Oscar, VE9OSK.

This is an informal net, and the main focus is on having amateurs checking in to fill the local amateur radio community on what they have been doing to cope and survive in these unusual times.

The inaugural net took place on Wednesday, the 8th of April and the first amateur to check into the net was Angus, VE9MCD. A total of 16 amateurs checked into the net and a good time was had by all. Net controller was JP, VE9BK.

The MAARC Wednesday Morning Get-together Net begins at 9am on the 147.345 Repeater. All amateur in the coverage area of the repeater is invited to join in the fun.
