Expect delivery delays as email reflectors like this do not bulk send to everyone in one go, they typically deliver in smaller batches so they don't falsely trigger spam systems.
  • Here is the web link to our Google Group page - https://groups.google.com/d/forum/norac

This is entirely free and optional, no membership is required, please consider joining if you wish to receive casual conversation, questions, buy and sell, etc. from other licensed Amateurs in the local area.

  • Here is the web link to our Google Group page - https://groups.google.com/g/bcsi-amateur-radio

This is entirely free and optional, no membership is required. The focus of the group is better communication over our wider provincial region. Asking questions, selling something, discussing regional issues like repeater outages, emergency callouts, wildfires, and storms. So many things that people can share, even just posting club nets and events to a wider than the local group.
