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!”

Glenn – a bit of gossip for your IHF Blog…   in the last month Zachariah VE7ZCZ, Roger VE7AP, and myself have all achieved “Worked all Zones” thanks to SU3YM in Egypt.  We had to hold our noses and pay a small fee for that last QSL, que sera sera.

Congratulations, gentlemen. Glenn VA7HC
