Welcome message from Wally Gardiner, VE6BGL
President of Foothills Amateur Radio Society
On behalf of the Foothills Amateur Radio Society (F.A.R.S.) and the executive team, welcome to members and future members.
What is the function of FARS :
* FARS operates and maintains an impressive network of repeaters.
* FARS plans courses, including Incident Command System ARES/ Disaster training.
* FARS promotes fellowship and friendship among Amateurs
Our extensive network of repeaters covers a vast portion of Southern Alberta, and is enjoyed by many amateurs to keep in touch and chat with friends and fellow amateurs. Our repeaters have served during times of crisis and disasters. To see our technical repeater details, please click on the REPEATERS link.
I welcome you to get involved, become a member, attend our highly informative meetings, or visit with other Amateurs at our informal Saturday morning gathering which takes place at the High River Heritage Inn 10 to noon.
Our regular meetings are held at 7:30PM on the third Tuesday of each month, alternating between the Okotoks Firehall (North), and the High River and Black Diamond Hospitals. Please click on the MEETING SCHEDULE link to view the dates and locations of all our meetings and the details of the interesting educational programs offered at each meeting to the membership and their invited guests.
Members and friends are reminded to renew their memberships. Download the form at the "Membership Form" link at the left, and mail it in with your cheque to Box 1806, Okotoks, Alberta T1S 1B6
