D-Star Repeater in Surrey VA7ICM accessible in some areas from Victoria
From the top of Mt Tolmie and the Malahat Lookout, you can easily hit the repeater VA7ICM in Surrey with a mobile and possibly with a handheld and magmount antenna. Each Sunday morning at 9:30 am there is a round table/checkin between the repeater VA7ICM (on 2-m) and K6MDD the repeater in San Francisco.
The net control in Surrey is Gord, VE7FKY and in San Francisco it is Darrell WA6YTD.
You are encouraged to check in and join the round table which usually goes for at least an hour. The guys are very helpful with advice and info on programming your radio.
