VA3EOA
In March 2008, the AARC established an emergency radio station at the Atikokan Emergency Operations Centre located at the municipal office. The com centre has the callsign VA3EOA.
The first HF contact at VA3EOA was made on 9 March 2008 at 00:40 UTC between VE3FYN and VA3EXT in Dryden, on 80 metres.
Late in 2009, the station was dismantled to make way for the construction of a new Town Hall. On 11 June 2010 the cables were finally pulled, and the tower readied for the antennas.
Inside Town Hall, the station includes:
- A computer setup with APRS and WinLink.
- A GE-
MVS radio linked to the computer for APRS, WinLink and local repeater access. - A Yaesu 857D UHF/VHF/HF radio.
- Power supplies.
- A 2000 watt UPS
(the building has generator backup). - A complete user manual and logbook.
