Please see the attached information on this year's field day site (as well as the previous article) for information on how to get there.
The Field Day schedule will be similar to past Field Days with set up beginning Friday June 26 afternoon and evening. We will finish set up Saturday June 27 morning and start operating at noon until noon Sunday June 28. Then it’s time to take everything apart.
As usual we will take a break from operating for our pot luck dinner around 5:00 PM on Saturday. Then back at it “CQ field day de VE7UT“.
Please see the below information on the proposed field day site location for this year. In the frame below you will see the google maps driving directions (hit 'more options' to bring it up larger in the browser and get the full driving directions). Also attached are screen shots from google earth as well as a KMZ file that will open up the location in google earth if you have it installed.
Please send us feedback if you have any, and we'll post further updates as they become available.
It's that time of the month again, our club meeting is coming up this Thursday evening the 4th at the St. George's church at the intersection of Royal Ave. and Knox St. in North Kamloops at 7:30pm. Any and all guests are more than welcome.
Also our local IRLP node 1080 will be off the air for a few days and then may have limited outbound-only operating for a bit after that. We will post more on this as it develops.
Yay, the repeater is back on the air and linked in to the SIRG!
There may still be a mild 'hum' but Myles (VE7FSR) says it's much less obvious than before. If there are any problems noticed with the repeater please drop us a note.
Sometime this weekend our VE7RLO (Lolo) repeater will be taken offline to allow our neighbours to check on some interference issues. It will resume service a week or so after it has been turned off, and we will post further information as it becomes available.
Dave VE7LTW will be giving us an introduction to D-STAR at the club meeting this Thursday. If you know anyone who would like to drop by to check it out, please pass this information along!
