Annual General Meeting
This is an official notification of the club’s Annual General Meeting which will be held on Tuesday, June 6. This is our second attempt at holding the AGM. We did not achieve quorum at the May 2 meeting. At this meeting the club’s executive for the next year will be elected, and we will vote on revisions to the club’s bylaws as required by the Ontario government. Failure to achieve quorum at this meeting COULD PUT THE FUTURE OF THE PEEL ARC IN JEOPARDY! All members in good standing are encouraged to attend.
VE3FGK SK
It is with great sadness that we share that one of PARC’s founding members, Dave Kerr VE3FGK, passed away Saturday morning April 29th.
The family will hold a private service for him.

Repeater Status
Both the 2 m repeater, VE3PRC, 146.880- (103.5 Hz) and the 70 cm repeater VE3PRC, 443.550+ (103.5 Hz) are now up an running at their new site, on the Rogers Tower adjacent to the Terry Millar Recreation Centre. We would love to hear your signal reports!
Our second 70 cm repeater, VE3UPR 443.600+ (103.5 Hz) Covering Caledon and Northern Brampton, was not affected by the outage and is still up and running well.
