Bellbrook Amateur Radio Club volunteers participate in many Public Service Events throughout the year. BARC members provide communications support for parades, races, bicycle events, and other events. This usually involves communicating with a Net Control Station to report runners locations or if medical attention is needed. Here is a photo of a BARC member working the Bellbrook Sugar Maple Festival Parade.
