RAC Report on Canadian Amateurs
Alan VE7UBA discovered this interesting RAC study of Canadian Amateurs, which includes how active they are in various specific aspects of the hobby, the frequencies utilized, antennas used, and some key demographics.
ARRL 10 meter Contest
Thanks to all the IslandHF club members that participated in the ARRL 10 meter contest. It’s a terrific contest both for established contesters but also for new hams who are just getting started.
There was tremendous activity throughout the 48 hours with lots of DX to chase after.
Coffee Shack packed
The monthly Coffee Shack which took place on December 9th was packed. Fifteen members commandeered three sets of tables at the Hillside Mall in Victoria. One of the nice things about the Coffee Shack is much of conversation is about HF and radios. Even the tall tales are about radio. For example “Did you hear about VE7JKZ winning the Keymen’s Contest in Japan with six contacts?”
If you’re in the Victoria area, please join us for the next ‘shack’ on January 20th, 2025. There more photographs at the bottom of the website’s main page.
