Codiac Amateur Radio Group
The Codiac Amateur Radio Group (
CARG ) was formed in 1999 for the pending problems of “Y2K”. The purpose
of CARG was to assist Emergency Agencies in the Moncton Area with Emergency
Communications should the normal communication systems fail or become overloaded.
After the “Y2K” event, it was decided
that this structure of Ham Radio Operators should be maintained in the
event of Major Disasters or Emergencies in the Moncton area and southeast
New Brunswick. The purpose of CARG remains the same: To assist Emergency
Agencies with Emergency Communications should the normal communication
systems fail or become overloaded.
An Amateur Radio Communication Centre
was set up in the Codiac RCMP Headquarters in Moncton and has since been
in operation for special events. |
