Pierre Boucher VE7AL/VE7NRO brought this handy device at our latest Hillside Mall coffee session. It was suggested that he try it inside the mall as an experiment – but that didn’t happen! Great for Field Days, though! CQ CQ CQ
If you know someone who can do the 3D plastic printing, you might like to make one too. Here’s the link to the instructions.
Easter Sunday April 5 dawned bright and sunny. John Erskine VE7MHI and Scott Schillereff VA7SNJ had a most enjoyable radio hike to Partridge Hills in Gowlland Tod park for communal gourmet charcuterie board, dark chocolate, and espresso….oh, and QRP radio!
John used his IC705 for a SOTA activation, on HF and VHF/UHF using wire and beam antennas. Scott operated on HF with his midband QMX into a 54 ft inverted vee with open wire feeders. Conditions were favourable for both CW and SSB contacts all over western N Am with 5 W.
With the fine weather here, it’s time to hit the trail! If you want to join in, drop me a line and you’ll be added to the gourmet portable email list!

I discovered a web page on HF Antennas and Radios https://squashpractice.com/latest-posts/ I also subscribe to his blog on HF Radios and Antennas and he published a fantastic summary of all things HF based on his experience over a full solar cycle. I thought this would be interesting reading for IHF “Islanders”. I suspect one would need to register (free) to see it but worth the effort. His website is here https://squashpractice.com/af7nx-antenna-and-radio-page/
