Received an email from VE7KZ this past week. He’s considering buying a house in the North Delta area and was wondering about tower restrictions in the area. I can’t remember anyone having issues in Delta as nothing as been brought up at a meeting. For those of you who have put up towers in the last couple of years if you have had any issues or comments can you please send Steve an email and let him know what you went through. sdraper@gmail.com

Bill is considering bringing in Nifty! Ham accessories. A lot of their products are devoted to mini manuals for various radios. Bill should be placing an order a week Friday, and is offering any DARS members a 10% discount off the prices you see on the website. http://niftyaccessories.com/index.html If interested Bill’s email address is: victorecho7@telus.net and let him know which radio and model you wish. They also have a stand for handhelds and a radio harness (something like a vest)

For our DSTAR users don’t forget the net tomorrow at 7pm on VE7SUN UHF or VE7RAG repeaters. Early checkins start at 6:45. With summer upon us and people taking holidays we could use a few more operators to take on the net control job Tuesday nights. It requires less then an hour of your time and you can take one of the grab and go kits home with you and do the net from home if you so desire. If you can spare one night in August and/or September is all were asking and it’s a pretty simple job. Contact Jeanne at: jdwilson@dccnet.com if you can volunteer one Tuesday evening in August and/or September.
