The Parkland Amateur Radio Club
(P.A.R.C.), consists of very active and ambitious
amateur radio operators, who commonly share a common
interest in many aspects of
amateur
Radio, located in the Parklands, covering East Central
Saskatchewan.
Local amateurs in Canora,
Saskatchewan in the beginning consisted
of only
3, back
in 2000,
and eventually those same three formed the club, known
as the 'Canora Amateur Radio Club', in February 2002. We
started
with a local repeater, and soon had
IRLP or V.O.I.P. Communication installed and linked,
which expanded our range of communication to all around
the
world.
Once more operators knew
of our local accomplishments they soon joined our club.
In January 2004, we started with the addition of
EchoLink
to our existing IRLP Node,
which
also improved our coverage to include communication via
computer keyboard. Our goals as a club seem to be
changing
faster than ever and over
the next
couple of years more amateur's joined the club, and in
April 2006, we changed our club name to: The Parkland
Amateur
Radio Club Inc., (P.A.R.C.).
The Parkland Amateur Radio Club
boasts a great repeater network system, which provides
several different modes of communication, to a expanded
coverage area. We are continuously updating our
equipment and repeater network, more information can be

The Parkland amateur Radio Club
hosts a great system, integrating both VHF / UHF and
V.O.I.P. communication systems, that can be linked to
other
systems around the world.
Our club achieved this through many volunteer hours from
all our members, donations from fellow ham operators
from
far and wide and through the people and organizations
around our local coverage area. We are continuing
to grow, by new members coming on board, and we are
constantly upgrading and adding to our already proven
reliable system.
