The January club meeting will be a social event of some kind. Stay tuned for details.

Assisting at the Winter Carnival Parade is good fun and a critical club public service event. Our participation creates great PR for the club. A new parade route means a large number of volunteers will be really helpful.

Please mark the date in your calendar NOW! 

NORAC members, family and friends will be participating in Winter Field Day on Saturday January 25, 2025. As in previous years, we will using the Kin Beach shelter.  We will try to enclose it as much as possible with tarps and add a couple of propane heaters to make it as comfortable as possible.  We will be operating on Saturday only from approx. 9:00 - 3:00.  Antenna setup will take place at 9:00.  Everything will be provided, however, if you wish to try out your radio, please bring it along.    

Think of this event as a more challenging version of summer Field Day as it takes place in the middle of winter.

Expanded objectives this year make for even more fun. Please find the event rules and objectives here.
