Chris advises he now has a calendar on the website so members can book times during the month of January to use the special event call sign from home. You will find the link to the calendar in the blue box just below the header on the main page. The calendar page is quite easy to fill out. Just click on the date or dates you wish and then fill out the form below the calendar. Once Chris receives your form he will insert it into the calendar so the next person can see what days have been taken and what days are still available.
For those who replied to my email about operating at one of the two libraries for the event I will be sending out an email later today. As we would like to accommodate as many of your wishes to band, modes etc. I would ask you to reply to the email with your suggestions and once tallied will pass over to the technical folks to see how we can full fill most of your wishes.

Prior to Adam’s talk last night we had a quick discussion on replacing the VE7SUN VHF repeater that is over thirty years old. Tom caught wind of an excellent deal on a brand new repeater and the vote was unanimous to buy one of these repeaters if still available. Will let you more when we find out the results of Tom’s inquiries.

Adam’s talk last night was very interesting on World War II German Radar. He will be back in the new year with another of his presentations.

For those who use the radio room over at NDPSB the commissioners now have a membership list and you will have to provide ID to them before they give you the key.
