This year’s Field Day was held at Peter Rizzi’s (VE7RZZ) QTH. By all accounts Field Day went well. We even had a couple of guests stop by – Daryl (sp) from Revelstoke and Ron Rosmer/VE6FV from Hinton, AB. who operated one of our stations for several hours and took some Drone videos of the site that he’s share with us at the link below:

On Friday, September 27th, Dorn VE7HDU and Hans VE7OHR provided transportation for Phil VE7BPH and Robin VE7HMN up to the Queest Mountain Repeater via the Malakwa route.
Wayne, VA7VT has chosen to ignore the long held tradition of doing tower work in the depths of winter. Instead, he’s decided to repair the coax to his 2M antenna in the heat of summer.
In order to verify the coverage of the Shuswap Amateur Radio Club repeaters compared to modeling data, the club decided to organize and hold an exercise to determine the actual coverage of the VHF repeaters on the major highway routes in the region. The exercise was held on Saturday, June 22nd 2024 starting at 10:30AM local time.
Following the installation of the new lead-carbon batteries on the RNH repeater, by Phil VE7BPH and Peter VE7RZZ on September 30th, the controller began beaconing a ‘Battery Alert’ alarm whenever it transmitted. It wasn’t possible to access the repeater and turn off the alarms using DTMF tones despite attempts by Phil VE7BPH and Robin VE7HMN. It appeared that it would be necessary to reload the repeater’s programming code, so a site visit was arranged for Friday, October 6th.
