VE3CH: September 2009
http://ve3ch.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 6, 2009. Lamenting the end of summer '09. Holy cow, where did it go? I’m sure that’s a common remark during the last weekend of summer (I know…summer’s not over from a seasonal standpoint until September 21, but for practical purposes, it’s pretty much a done deal). But really, doesn’t it seem like summer passes as fast as an extra hot burrito? A lot of attention from myself and the XYL, it seemed I was able to steal a little more time in my comfy basement shack. Speaking of propagation...

VE3CH: In quest of the elusive VK
http://ve3ch.blogspot.com/2009/03/original-appeal-of-ham-radio-to-me-and.html
Friday, March 27, 2009. In quest of the elusive VK. Still a nice signal and he was calling for DX. I gave several calls but each time another station was acknowledged. At one point he called “who’s the VE3”, I quickly keyed the mic and gave my call phonetically twice. But….alas is was another VE3 near Hamilton who managed to make the contact. No doubt he had his ionosphere buster antenna pointed right down the VK’s throat! Oh well, off to work. Gerry in a little place called Bundanoon. Then I see an emai...

VE3CH: June 2010
http://ve3ch.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 27, 2010. The Quinte Amateur Radio Club. And Prince Edward Radio Club. Again joined forces this year for Field Day. Ran as a 2A (Two Alpha) operation, utilizing generator power. Again this year my own involvement was limited to just a few hours on the Saturday evening. I managed to operate about an hour on 6 meters (with some modest results! And another on 80 meters, which was red hot into the late night hours. Yours truly getting ready for a crack at 6 meters. Eric VA3EP, whose property the...

VE3CH: Oh...for a rainy day!
http://ve3ch.blogspot.com/2010/05/ohfor-rainy-day.html
Sunday, May 30, 2010. Ohfor a rainy day! 8220;Honey, there’s no way I can get to the gardening in this driving rain….I’ll just take care of a few projects in the basement.” (Purely coincidental the shack’s in the lower level). But, no such luck this time, the sun was high-in-the-sky, the mercury was pushing 28 degrees (that’s about 80 on the Farfenugen scare). Enough acronyms for ya? EA8-Land. Can you say time-share? See any Yagis perched on top of those condos? Each time I play around with either CW or ...

VE3CH: Yes.....I'm still around!
http://ve3ch.blogspot.com/2010/05/yesim-still-around.html
Saturday, May 1, 2010. Well….hmmm, let’s see, over six months since a post.egad! When I started this blog last March, I promised myself I would try for a new post once a week. That schedule was maintained fairly well through the spring and summer, but then ran afoul in the fall. Truth is, I’m a busy guy! Work and family concerns, especially during the fall and winter months, mean much less time spent hammin’. Christmas DX to the North Pole. Had a contact with Santa Claus back in December. We even used.

VE3CH: Field Day 2009
http://ve3ch.blogspot.com/2009/06/field-day-2009.html
Sunday, June 28, 2009. Over the 21 years that I've been a ham, one of my favourite activities has always been Field Day. Nothing seems to speak to the spirit of amateur radio better than a group of hams cooperating together to set up temporary stations in simulated emergency conditions. Then spend 24 hours with friends doing a little operating, a little socializing and enjoying some fine Field Day cuisine. Clear for next year. Following are some images of the Field Day set up for VE. And located in a qui...
