Weekly Nets:
Ham radio club meetings "on the air" are called "Nets". Oakville ARES holds a weekly net on the 147.015 Mhz VE3OAK VHF repeater at 19:30 hrs local time on Monday nights. Our ARES partners at the Halton Region Emergency Communications Team (HRECT) also hold a weekly net on the 147.345 Mhz VE3OBP repeater, which is also our regional Canwarn severe weather spotting repeater.
Club meetings
In the Club there are the two types of formal meetings:
1) the general Club meetings are held on the Second Sunday EVENING of the month from 7-9 pm. Check the weekly nets for locations as these are subject to change.
The meeting begins promptly at 7:30pm.
2) The ARES team (Amateur Radio Emergency Service, the field subsection of the club) meet on the Third Sunday from 1 - 4 pm. Again, check the weekly nets for location information.
Also we meet informally every Saturday morning at 7am in Cora's in the mall on the south-east corner of Dorval and the North Service road.
It is right beside Henry's camera shop.
Please join us for breakfast and get the latest local ham news.
NOTE:Always check the weekly net before the sunday meetings incase of a cancellation or venue change. Alternatively, check in on the OAK VHF repeater prior to the start of the meeting for any changes or updates.
