Introducing the ONTARS Lifeline Program

Why is it needed:
    ONTARS is a 53 year old amateur radio organization whose members care about each other.
If one of the members doesn't check in on a timely basis, we all become concerned.  Does that operator live on their own?
Has there been a health issue that suddenly developed? Does the family know whom to contact regarding  ISED  Canada nofication  in the case of a death or sudden medical situation?

How it works:
    The ONTARS member designates a fellow amateur or "buddy" who will act as a liason
for him should he not be able to communicate to the group.  Typically, the wife of the member
will be the first to notify the "buddy" of this situation after contacting emergency 911 or other means.
Should the amateur become a silent key, this "buddy" liason will advise the ONTARS net manager in the proper fashion.

How do I access this service:
