Some
History!!
The Manitoulin
Amateur Radio Club (M.A.R.C.) was formed by four members
in 1988.
They were Oscar Yarnald (VE3OPY now
VE6OPY), Doug Becks (VE3DBK), Allan Boyd (VE3AJB), and
silent key Mike Smith (VE3CHS). These four
gentlemen applied for a New Horizons Grant. With
this, VE3RMI (Repeater Manitoulin Island) was put on the
air April 10th, 1988. The club grew quickly with the
formation of classes put on by VE3AJB & VE3DBK.
At present the club has ~60 members and now owns and
operates two 2m repeaters... VE3RMI (147.270 +) and
VE3LTR (146.67-).
