Hello – I received a phone call this morning from Carole Guthrie with the sad news of Bill VE6OLD’s death. Bill Guthrie was a long time member of CAARC and was very active in club activities until ill health slowed him down. Bill was a fixture at club picnics, serving up SARA dogs with a smile! He always had lots to sell at any of the flea markets and was on the air all the time when he was still working, driving from one job to another. Bill was a past president and one of the founding members of SARA. Bill’s voice will live on, on the VE6REP repeater controller. He will definitely be missed!

I am helping to organize the rally and one of my responsibilities is to recruit radio operators for the event. The rallies are some of the best field radio operations opportunities available to the Amateur Radio community in our region. They are challenging, fun, and a great way to test your equipment and skills in “real world” conditions. I hope that members of your club will consider joining us.
This year’s event takes place on Sunday 08 March in the Waiparous region northwest of Cochrane. Radio operators are needed to provide communication services and safety observation at various locations throughout the course. Training is provided, so no prior experience is required.
Additional information is available at the URLs noted below. Please consider circulating this invitation among your club’s members.
General event information is posted on the Rallywest website, at:
Thank you for your assistance and please contact me with any questions you may have.
