COVID-19 Crisis
Due to social distancing in this current COVID-19 crisis, all meetings of the Society have been suspended until further notice.
For NWT information on the crisis see
https://www.hss.gov.nt.ca/en/services/coronavirus-disease-covid-19 .
YARS remains operational at this time.
- All YARS members are encouraged to maintain a radio watch on the repeater.
- VE8PAT is now restricted in terms of availability. It is available should the emergency communications system be activated either territory-wide or locally in Yellowknife.
- Members are encouraged to get their equipment ready.
While COVID may not be a major issue here, the disruption to supply lines to the North may be an issue especially if things deteriorate in the United States.
YARS stands ready.
