BARC attended the Harwich Cranberry Arts & Music Festival for the first time this year! So far it was an interesting event with a lot of public participation. One day one we made over 200 contacts and should do close to that on day two also.

It is with sadness we note the death of Horace "Skid" Schermerhorn W1TTY.Sid was a member of BARC as well as FERA and Cape Cod and Islands Amateur Radio Asoc. SKID passed away on June 23, 2017.

The YSF repeater was installed at the146.955, K1PBO site in the early morning hours today and is ready to go!

Yeasue's  "System Fusion" is a digital C4FM signal.  The repeater is configured as Digital/Analog system.  It is in "AUTO/AUTO" mode.  This means what ever RX modulation type it receives is what it will send out.  

Al Ryan has accepted the VE coordinator position. We thank him for volunteering. BARC also thanks Celeste W1CMD for the years she provided this service.
