We Are!
The Parkland Amateur Radio Club
(P.A.R.C.), consists of amateur radio operators, who
commonly share a common interest in many aspects of
amateur Radio, located in the parklands, covering
East Central Saskatchewan.
Local Amateur's 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 grew 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, (P.A.R.C.).
The Parkland Amateur Radio Club
presently has 1 long range repeaters, located in
Yorkton, on frequency of 145.490-,
with
EchoIRLP,
with other
repeaters of interest
include,
Melville
repeater, on frequency of 147.000+, with EchoIRLP;
Preeceville on frequency of 146.610-; and Norquay on
frequency of 147.390+.
We are continually expanding to also include
Rocanville Simplex EchoIRLP station on 146.520 MHz
The Parkland amateur Radio Club hosts a great
system, integrating both VHF / UHF and V.O.I.P.
communication system, 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.

Frank and Angy are very community service minded people.
They are impressed with the public service and emergency
communications aspects of ham radio and have generously
allowed access to the 160 foot tower and radio shack,
located at their property east of Yorkton. This has enabled
our club (Parkland Amateur Radio Club) to install a
permanent commercial grade - long range repeater, that will
serve all local hams as well as travelers on the Yellowhead
Highway.
Endeavour Repeater - VA5 INV - 147.300+Mhz
