Coffee Shack – October 5, 2026
Another great Coffee Shack today. Scott, Brian, John, Ed, Larry, Andy Mintz, Rick, Roger, Zachariah, Alan and Glenn shared coffee and great conversation.
QRP in Newfoundland
Scott Schillereff VA7SNJ is an avid QRP operator. He goes to great lengths and great heights to pursue contacts. Here he is in Newfoundland.
You can chat with him about his exploits at the next Coffee Shack on August 10th at Hillside Mall.
Field Day at Oak Bay Marina
Alan VE7UBA, Brian VE7JKZ and Andy VE7PT spent a few hours chasing a few contacts in Queen’s Park just north of Oak Bay Marina. It was a beautiful day but propagation was very disappointing. We found that Alan’s home-made antenna with self-measuring radials (made out of tape measures) vastly outperformed Andy’s commercial Chameleon Antenna.
