Who Are We?
Skywide is Toronto’s long-running amateur radio club — on-air nets, social events, and public service for licensed hams and friends of the hobby.
Our Repeater – VE3SKY
The Skywide ARC hosts one VHF machine, VE3SKY situated in the old city of York near Dufferin and Eglinton. This repeater offers reliable coverage across much of the urban GTA & is available via AllStar / Echolink. We are currently working to restore our UHF machine VE3SKI.
