Four IslandHF members decided to do some radio work this weekend on the darkside – VHF! (That comment is very tongue in check.)
Many thanks to four members who volunteered their time to work as radio operators for the CARHA Pacific Cup hockey tournament in and around Victoria. Rick VE7TK, Ron VE7IRR, Alan VE7PE and Glenn VA7HC pulled multiple shifts at three different hockey rinks around town.
Hats off (face masks, perhaps?) to you gentlemen. 🙂
Bard is Google’s experimental, conversational AI chatbot. I’ve started taking an online AI course to find out about and how to use Bard, Google AI, Gemini and other Google tools.
I decided to ask Bard about a QSL card image with the question, “What is this an image of?” I pasted the QSL image into the AI prompt. The prompt consisted only of the image and the question. This how Bard answered.
Unfortunately this cut & paste is a little blurry because I have enlarged it. But the AI recognized the image as a QSL card and got most of its information correct. Pretty cool.
Three IslandHF members worked the NAQP CW Contest on January 13th. They uploaded the scores to 3830 Scores and showed their club affiliation with IslandHF Radio Association.
Thanks to Alan VE7UBA and Brian VE7JKZ and Glenn VA7HC (with David James’ help VA7VK).
