Ham Radio Breakfast

This event brings together hams from all over for a morning breakfast and social. It is usually held on a Saturday morning in January or February at a local restaurant. The costs are usually very affordable and is a good chance to show off any new Christmas radio toys.

Down East Flea Market

Held in conjunction with the Dartmouth ARC, the event is held in early spring each year. Hams from across the Maritimes and from further afield buy, sell, trade, and gaze fondly at all the new gear. It is the largest event of its kind in Atlantic Canada, with about 500 or more buyers showing up each year!

ARRL Field Day

Amateurs from the area practice their emergency preparedness skills by setting up amateur gear and operating for a period of 24 hours. Their ability to contact as many other stations during field day as possible is scored and tabulated, thus making the event a contest.

Maritime DX Forum

Amateurs with an interest in contesting, DXing and HF gather yearly, to discuss experiences, exchange ideas and information while fostering new activity in HF/VHF/UHF contesting and DXing amongst the new hams. The event includes speakers, tours, great door prizes and Food!.

HARC Christmas Party
