Scarborough Amateur Radio Club

In 1977, the Scarborough Amateur Radio Club hosted the ARRL National Convention here in Toronto Ontario. The agenda of this three day event covered a wide variety of topics that would look familiar even today. Toronto's Mayor, Paul Godfrey, declared it to be Amateur Radio Week. About 3000 radio amateurs from around the world were expected to attend the convention. The main organization was performed by SARC's committee, but there was a lot of help from other Toronto area organizations as well. In the convention program, our committee chairman, Gord Steane, VE3BMG welcomed the attendees while ARRL President, Harry Dannals, W2TUK, set the expectations and theme.
