Abstract
On 25 and 26 June 2022 the Yellowknife Amateur Radio Society (YARS) fielded an emergency amateur radio station operating on HF frequencies for 24 hours. This exercise is the primary summer emergency preparedness exercise for the amateur radio community in North America, dressed-up as a competition. YARS faced a number of challenges including a shortage of personnel, problems with equipment and terrible band conditions. Some of these were out of our control. Some were to be expected as this was the first exercise in the aftermath of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Overall a decent score was achieved and 7 QSOs were made. There is a reason why the VE8 callsign prefix is the second rarest in North America - and it is not just the small population. See photos...
