<p>
The past month has been a busy one for the club.
</p>
<p>
The club launched a new website at <a href="https://scarcs.ca" class="urlextern" title="https://scarcs.ca" rel="ugc nofollow">scarcs.ca</a>. The old website at <a href="http://ve7rxz.ca" class="urlextern" title="http://ve7rxz.ca" rel="ugc nofollow">ve7rxz.ca</a> served us well for many years with VE7TBP keeping the site updated. VE7HZF has much experience with the Doku wiki system and felt that it would be a good avenue to bring more members into the editing process. VE7HZF ported the information from the old site to the new site and other members helped with additional information.
