It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Paul Laconto W1NP. Paul has been instrumental in the development and promotion of Ham Radio here on the Cape.  He was responsible for a number of programs at BARC including the Charter School Radio Explorer Post, JOTA and merit badge classes at the Scout Camp. Many of us got help from Paul when an antenna needed to be put up, a special cable needed to be made, or an event needed to be organized.

BARC was able to set up for the second year at the Harwich Cranberry Arts & Music Festival.

Excellent weather and band condition made for a good weekend.  If you would like to see more photos from the event just head on over to the photo gallery page.

normal operation started Sun. August 19. This is a temporary fix until we get a new antenna.
