Yesterday I helped the Arrowsmith radio club install a new digi-peater antenna at their VE7KU repeater on Mt. Arrowsmith-ish. Drove logging roads to 1,200 metres, and then a 1/2-hour alpine hike to the tower. It was great fun 🙂 Antenna not yet installed in picture.

A warm congratulation to hams who obtained their Basic and/or upgraded to Advanced on completion of the WARA ham course. If you hear our new graduates on the air, why not congratulate them yourself?
And thanks to Robin VE7DFI for the donation of an Icom V-80 and to Jennifer Verrall for the donation of a Wouxun handheld, which were won by two of the new hams during the graduation social event at the Lido Bistro, organized by Glenn VE7GRQ.
