Report on the Inspection of Repeater VE7RNH at Granite Peak/Fly Hills
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.
Fall Fair 2025 – Radio Club in Action
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.

Field Day 2025
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:

Winter Field Day – 2025
Winter Field Day 2025 – by Peter VE7PAE
Winter Field Day 2025, held on January 25th and 26th, was an exceptional experience in winter contest conditions. I was offered to go with a team (VE7KPZ, VE7QH, VE7RIZ) to Larch Hills, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to join. Instead, I decided to go somewhere closer to home, in the South Canoe area near Salmon Arm, British Columbia. I had been thinking about this contest all year, and the day had finally arrived.
