IMPORTANT!!! --- Starting next week, the net will be held on WEDNESDAYS. See below. Tonight (Tuesday) is our weekly evening net on VE2RED 147.270MHz, 103.5Hz CTCSS, at 20:00 local time (8PM). Marc-Andre, VE2EVN will be Net Control this evening.... Please join us at 8PM on VE2RED on 2m output frequency of 147.270 MHz (+600 kHz input offset) Note, the repeater uses a CTCSS input tone of 103.5 Hz for access. Important change: We need to move the Net to Wednesdays because the net would eventually conflict with the General Meetings, and it will conflict with the MARC board meeting next week. Having no other Net Control Op available, we chose to make this change ahead of time. So Tonight will be the last net held on Tuesday. Next week, it will be held on Wednesday August 5th, at 8PM. See you on the air!

Tonight (Wed) is our weekly evening net on VE2RED 147.270MHz, 103.5Hz CTCSS, at 20:00 local time (8PM). Please join us at 8PM on VE2RED on 2m output frequency of 147.270 MHz (+600 kHz input offset) Note, the repeater uses a CTCSS input tone of 103.5 Hz for access. See you on the air!

RAC will host virtual presentation on Canada C3 WSPR Project at 2020 IEEE International Antenna and Propagation Symposium: July 9 at 3 pm For immediate release:... https://www.rac.ca/canada-c3-wspr-project-presentation/ On Thursday, July 9, Radio Amateurs of Canada will participate in the 2020 IEEE AP-S Symposium on Antennas and Propagation by hosting a virtual presentation on the Canada C3 WSPR Project. The Symposium on Antennas and Propagation is the premier international forum for the exchange of ideas on state-of-the-art research in antennas and propagation and radio science. Through a range of technical and social activities, it provides an opportunity to interact with the world's leading experts in antennas and propagation, and radio science from academia, industry and government. Originally scheduled as an in-person conference in Montreal from July 5-10, it is being presented as an online symposium as a result of the global pandemic. Amateur Radio at IEEE AP-S/URSI 2020 Antennas and propagation are very important to Radio Amateurs so it is not a surprise that many participants are Amateurs in fact call signs for 105 symposium registrants have been entered into this year’s registration system. Amateur Radio activities and events have been associated with Symposia over the last six years and are usually organized by Amateur Radio clubs in the locations where they take place. They have provided opportunities for Amateurs to meet in person and to showcase the Amateur Radio Service to the Symposium participants. This year Radio Amateurs and Canada (RAC) and the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) are both very pleased to have an opportunity to make virtual presentations about different aspects of Amateur Radio. The ARRL will provide a virtual tour of the Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Station W1AW on Wednesday, July 8 at 1 pm. RAC will present an overview of the Canada C3 WSPR Project An Epic Journey to Celebrate Canada and Connect Canadians on Thursday, July 9 at 3 pm.
