The meeting this week is on Emergency Radio Communications. Don VA7IQ will present on Incident Command System which is how things are organized overall for emergency management Federally through locally.

Chris VE7XH will bring the CoPS engraving tool. You are invited to bring any valuables equipment which needs engraving with identifying marks (call sign and/or BCDL).

The meeting will be held at the North Delta Public Safety Building starting promptly at 7:00 pm. Be early to gain building access.

Delta Amateur Radio Society will honour Vicki Huntington, VA7VJH, former Independent MLA for Delta South and former Councillor in the Corporation of Delta. Vicki was elected as an Honorary Member of Delta ARS for her ongoing support of amateur radio through participation in the annual Field Day over many years and facilitating the update the RoadSafeBC guide on the “Use of Electronic Devices While Driving” which now includes a new section on two-way radios.

The presentation will be made on Thursday, November 2nd at 7:00 p.m. in the Arctic Meeting Room of the South Delta Recreation Centre, 1720 56 St, Delta.

Our next meeting is at South Delta Recreation Centre starting at 1900 on Thursday.

This will be a presentation to celebrate the start of the antenna installation season. Dave VE7HR will tell you all about the design, fabrication and installation of his tilt-over mast. Come out and see never seen before in public video footage. Bring your hip waders and dinghies to fully enjoy the event. 

Hope to see everyone out this week.

Meeting starts at 19:00 but be there by 18:45 as the North Delta Public Safety Building locks down at 19:00.

Topics for this week are final preparations for Comfest this Sunday and a presentation by Don VE7DS on his Vimy special events station. This is a second presentation for people that missed it south earlier in the year. Each presentation Don does is unique so even if you saw the first one there will be something different. As we have so many new members it’s also an opportunity for them to enjoy.

Don’t forget tell all your buddies about Comfest this Sunday.

Registrations for our Basic Amateur Radio Course are open. Classes are Wednesdays and Saturdays starting November 15th ending with exam on December 9th. Course will be held at both Harris Barn in Ladner and NDPSB. Tell all your friends and spouses as course is always popular.

Look forward to seeing everyone this week.
