Hi Everyone:
Just a reminder that the meeting tonight is in Tsawwassen. Being summer we will keep it on the social side. For our out of town members we will try a check in on 3.729 at 8:30 pacific
time. For those in town if possible monitor the frequency and pass along any checkins on VE7RDE/VE7SUN.
VE7KWK passes along a couple of tid bits.

Q SIGNALS THAT NEVER MADE IT
Some Q signals have never made it to the ARRL’s official list. Here are
some that many agree would be useful in appropriate situations. As with regular Q signals, each
can be a statement or a question, depending on whether a question mark follows it.
QBA – My antenna is BIG!
QBA? – How big is your antenna?
QBO – Don’t sit next to that guy in the meeting.
QBO? – Buddy, can you spare some soap?
QBS – It’s getting deep in here.
QBS? – Did I tell you about the one that got away?
QCP – I am using Cat Power(From Rotary Cat Power Wheel) QCP? – Are you using Cat Power?
QCW – I am going to whistle Morse Code on FM (or SSB) QCW? – Why are you whistling Morse?
