Excitement builds as we move towards September and what will be a first for amateur radio in the Shuswap in terms a very, very Special Event— a DXpedition on Copper Island.
Field Day–Youth Element
A highlight of Field Day 2013 was the Youth Element.
For perhaps the first time, we were able to claim bonus points for operators under the age of 18 who made at least one contact.

Copper Island Activation in September is a Go!
Following an exchange of several emails to provide information and clarification of details, I received word today from Wes DeArmond, Thompson Eastern Lakes Area Supervisor with the Ministry of Environment, that SARC will be permitted to run an Island Activation station from Copper Island in September. We will have to adhere to strict environmental standards while staging the event, but it has been approved.
