On Saturday, August 30th, the radio club organized a visit and inspection of the VE7RNH repeater equipment located at Fly Hill. The road to the repeater was mostly passable, with the exception of a few spots where fallen trees were present, but safe passage was still possible. Weather conditions were favorable — sunny, dry, and very warm. The roads were dry but uneven in places, requiring careful and slow driving. The expedition was carried out with two vehicles, maintaining constant radio communication throughout the trip.
This August, held from August 22 to 24, the Fall Fair in Salmon Arm, BC, brought the community together once again at the fairgrounds that have hosted the event for over 100 years. The weather was perfect — sunny, warm, and just right for a weekend full of fun, exhibits, and good energy.
