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, 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.
2025 – Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet
Bought 2 years ago, works well. NanoVNA. Getting a H4 version with larger screen. A must for antenna tuning or coax checking. Lots of youtube videos in usage and set up.
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.
Enjoying the southern Ontario weather. HF is very active this morning. Contacts in
Texas, and multiple contacts in Kansas, Decided to use my BuddiePole and two stainless steel 5.4 meter arms for my dipole with a 1:1 balun.
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.
