THE REPEATER:
As of today, July 11th, the VE7RNH repeater has been out-of-service for about a week, likely due to damage suffered from a thunder-and-lightning storm in the vicinity of Fly Hills.

Field Day–Youth Element
A highlight of Field Day 2013 was the Youth Element.
For perhaps the first time, we were able to claim bonus points for operators under the age of 18 who made at least one contact.

Belated comments on our “work party”
End of the day
Field Day 2013 is approaching fast but first;
My last entry was about my first Field Day. Since that time I have been unable to participate in any others, not from a lack of desire just circumstances. This year hopefully I will be a bit more involved. But before we get into that we have one thing we must accomplish, a little background first. You may well remember my tale and experience on putting up the antique tent and the manpower and “expertise”required? Well no more, the tent has been disposed of to a good home and we wish the new owners the best of luck and happy camping. We now have a new structure to work on and on Saturday May 11th will be the unveiling, launching, maiden “voyage” of our new tent. Apparently it is possible for one man to set it up but we don’t know yet which man that is, hopefully we can determine that on the aforementioned Saturday. Volunteers are encouraged to attempt this feat and the successful contender will be lauded, feted and forever remembered, well may be not. If we do not find that man we will do it the old fashioned way with a crew.
SARC’s Youngest Ham
Congratulations to Patrick Boschalk VE7FAT who began to attend club meetings what seems just a few short months ago, after finding us on the internet and where and when we met. Patrick studied on his own at home and wrote his Basic Qualification Exam with the club in March. He was pleased to receive his Honours Basic. Let us all welcome Patrick to the world of Amateur Radio.
