I want to thank everyone who made it out to the Burger & Brew fund raiser event last night. Haven’t seen the final totals yet, suffice to say it was another huge success. My thanks go out to VE7OSK, VE7JNH, VE7BJC and VA7QLT who put a lot of work into making the event a huge success. Also a thank you to everybody who did some canvassing to get the excellent prizes for last night.

Mark your calendars for May 29 as we have Adam Farson (VA7OJ) with his presentation on World War 2 radios visiting us that night. It’s a North Delta night.

A note from Ken, VE7BC
Hello,
The New Westminster Hyack International Parade is on Saturday May 24. Operators assigned to the assembly area and parade officials will start communications at 08:00 and those assigned to points along the parade route will start a little later. The event starts at 10:30 with the Vancouver Police Motorcycle Drill Team and the parade follows. We are usually all done by around 13:00.
I am in need of about 25 operators. Assignments will include such things as assembly area, judging, shuttle buses, police, with various Hyack and parade officials, P.A. announcer, dispersal etc. The parade committee also counts on us for communication at many of the intersections along the parade route and would appreciate any help we can provide with the actual manning of the traffic barricades.
Please let me know whether you will able to help. May 24 is only 4 weeks away. I know how much the Hyack Association appreciates our services.
HELP PLEASE! – FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE YOU THINK MIGHT POSSIBLY BE INTERESTED IN JOINING US. ANNOUNCEMENTS ON NETS, CLUB MEETINGS, NEWSLETTERS, WEBSITES ETC. WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
As always, new hams are very welcome. No experience is necessary, we can certainly buddy up any brand new hams with an experienced operator. All that is required is a 2 metre handheld (and hopefully a spare battery!)
I will of course supply further details as the event draws closer.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Ken Clarke

A note from Don VA7IQ
I’m looking for a PCMCIA card supporting WPA Wifi (any speed) that is looking for a new home. This is obsolete equipment, and not many folks have a use for these except for using with really old laptops. If there is one looking for a good home, there is a elderly laptop waiting to meet it. 😉
A second item: Does anyone have a surplus stick of 256MB DDR266 CL2.5 184pin memory this would most certainly help this elderly computer avoid Alzheimer’s.
Thanks, Don
If you can help Don out his email address is: va7iq@rac.ca and please note Don does not have old laptops only elderly ones with healthcare issues.

Have a good and safe week everybody
