There are costs involved in running repeaters and providing emergency communications
for the community and surrounding areas. During a large scale disaster, VE7RSI could be
a critical hub for communications for Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, and the lower half of
Vancvouer Island, including Victoria, Duncan and Nanaimo. With the recent repeater upgrades
and more planned, donations are gratefully accepted. Please see the "donate"
button at the bottom of each page on this site.
Meetings...
SSARS meetings and coffee are usually on Fridays at 10 am at the
SAR building,
except the first Friday of the month which is at Penny's Pantry at the
Salt Spring Island Golf and Country Club.
However, coffee, meetings and the radio course are all put on hold
due to concerns over the COVID-19 virus.
