Coffee Shack – a favorite activity

/0 Comments/in , /by

The IslandHF Coffee Shack is held on the second Tuesday of each month. It’s a favorite activity to members located in the Victoria area. The Coffee Shack edition for October 2025 had twelve attendees. As usual there was much conversation and sharing of technical info. This is one amateur club that prefers to “talk technical” versus talking about politics or the weather.

Please join us at the next Coffee Shack on November 10, 2025. It happens at the Hillside Mall at 10 a.m. near Tim Horton’s.

Below is a photo of some of the IslandHF members from October 13th.

NOTE from Scott VA7SNJ regarding happenings at the Coffee Shack on September 8th.

“Rick, Roger and I tested harmonic attenuation of my newly-built QMX transceiver. Roger was his attenuators, Rick with his TinySA. Results good – 2nd harmonic 60 dB down from fundamental!”

Coffee Shack – July 14th

IslandHF’s monthly Coffee Shack continues to be a favorite activity for its members. The July 14th edition saw nine members sit down for some animated and cheery conversations.

Dan Wilson VE7VNA brought along a older antenna tuner which he hopes to integrate into this “shack”. Pierre VE7AL brought along a venerable Kenwood TS-140S which he sold to Dan. Interesting goings-on happening at the “Shack”.

Dan was really busy because he also met with Alan Mallet VE7AWM who dropped by. Alan was greeted by all members around the table.

Drop by for next month’s Coffee Shack – August 11th.
