For immediate release:

Starting in August of 2022 and continuing into 2023, the Burlington Amat
eur Radio Club will be celebrating its 50th anniversary.

On November 11, 1972, the Burlington Amateur Radio Club (BARC) held it

"The Mission of the Burlington Amateur Radio Club is to use our network of
technical resources for recruiting, training and assisting Amateur Radi
o Operators as well as supporting the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARE
S) by providing equipment and skilled operators for emergency communicatio
ns services when called upon."

The Club currently has 180 members. One of our founding members was Noel B
eattie Eaton, VE3CJ (1910–1996), a grandson of Timothy Eaton.
As a member of the Burlington Amateur Radio Club, Noel distinguished hi
mself by becoming President Emeritus of the International Amateur Radio Un
ion (IARU), and its President from 1974-1982. He served as American Radi
o Relay League (ARRL) Canadian Division Director from 1960-1974. Our club
continues to use his call sign VE3CJ for special events.

The club supports advancement of the Amateur Radio Service by providing en
couragement, training and testing for individuals who are looking for Ba
sic Entry Level class instruction for the Amateur Radio certification as w

and from as far away as Alberta, New Brunswick and Dubai.
