Amateur Radio Gives You the World!

As a "Ham" you can:

Meet and talk to people on the other side of town - or the other side of the world!

Stay in touch with like-minded individuals every day or every week on a "net".

Understand and experiment with all sorts of communications technology - new & old.

Form friendships that last a lifetime.

Communicate via amateur satellites.

Have access to backup communications from your home, boat or camp.


Amateur radio - the hobby with something for everyone!

The Club offers instruction in English by volunteer radio amateurs on the Industry Canada radio regulations, basic theory, and operation.

The Basic exam requires a 70% pass mark. With a mark of 80% (a substitute for Morse proficiency), you gain access to worldwide frequencies. The Question Bank, from which random exams are prepared, is a publicly-available document.
