Each Saturday morning there is an informal gathering of YARC club members at the EMO building on Pleasant St. in Yarmouth. Doors open generally about 09:30 local time. If you are interested in becoming a ham operator this is the perfect opportunity to meet some of the amateurs in the area.

Is there any possibility of updating the online minutes of club meetings? I believe this would be welcome by “out of town” members, members who might have missed a meeting, archival records, and the general amateur population who might visit the YARC web site. 73, Leigh – VE1GA

A State of Emergency was declared in Yarmouth County, N.S. on Saturday, November 6. 2010 due to flooding caused by heavy rain. Both Yarmouth and Argyle EOCs were activated and Amateurs were called to duty at both centers.
The rain continued for 3 days and total rainfall for the period was 270 mm or 10.7 inches. Eventually about 40 roads were closed, three bridges and one dam collapsed and approximately 120 families were evacuated from their homes until the water subsided. The EOCs remained staffed until the State of Emergency was lifted on Friday, November 12th. The amateurs were especially useful at the Argyle EOC because cell phone coverage is not reliable in the village of Quinan, where the flooding was most severe. Radio operations were carried out on a TMR talk group, on an EMO simplex frequency and on 2 meters.
Yarmouth ARC members staffed both EOCs, with VE1UT, VE1IC and VE1GM at Yarmouth and VE1CD and VE1CB at Argyle. VE1GBD and VE1DN assisted at Argyle as well as helping EHS and Fire Departments.
The Yarmouth County GSAR team was called in to assist with evacuation and with traffic control on damaged roads and bridges.
