Welcome to the Telephone Pioneers Amateur Radio Club!
TPARC operates and maintains a HF/VHF/UHF ROSE switched packet amateur radio network in British Columbia that extends from the capital city of Victoria, through the Lower Mainland, up into the interior to Kamloops, and over to the North Okanagan at Vernon.
In the Lower Mainland, TPARC also operates a VHF and UHF linked voice repeater system on 145.170MHz (-600kHz) and 442.875MHz (+5MHz).
Please see the links at the left for more information.
Network Upgrades
We are making significant progress with upgrading the backbone/trunk on the network to >1Mbps.
We are getting very close to starting to cut over sites to FPAC switches, replacing the hardware ROSE switches we have in service.
With this network upgrade, there will be some outages involved. We will also be changing the SSID's of the user drops to make them compliant with the pseudo-standard used elsewhere in the world.
More information will be posted as we progress.
Network Outage Alert
Presently, the UHF drop at Mt. Sicker (Duncan) is out of service. It looks like the previously mentioned trouble with the VHF drop at Smith Hill has resolved itself.
It also looks like we have issues with the VHF and UHF machines at Haney. Replacement equipment is being tuned up and will be deployed as soon as possible.
We are aware of the problems, and are working to restore it to service as soon as possible.
The VHF and UHF drops at Ryder Lake have been repaired.
Further updates will be posted, when available.
Due to aging equipment, the "bit regeneration" features of VE7TEL-3 will be going off line. This will allow for the replacement of the current repeater with something newer and more stable. Hopefully the bit regen will be restored when we mirage to the next-generation network that is in testing in the lab.
Thank you for visiting!
