The Adventures of VE3FI: May 2015

http://ve3clq.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

The Adventures of VE3FI. Sunday, 31 May 2015. The Island Activation that wasn't. Today started as a dull, rainy and cold day and continued as such as Mark, VE3EOG, and I drove up Hwy 15 to Upper Brewers Mill Island on the Rideau Canal system. We arrived and started to set up our antennas, ran the radials and coax, and then fired up the radio.and then.we discovered we had "issues". It looks like I now have a dead FT-857D. To paraphrase Monty Python."It's an ex-FT-857D". Links to this post. John will start...

The Adventures of VE3FI: October 2014

http://ve3clq.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

The Adventures of VE3FI. Wednesday, 29 October 2014. Quite the surprise today after lunch when a FedEx truck delivered a large parcel to the house. I knew I had done well in the 2013 ARRL Sweepstakes, but little did I know that I had come first in Canada in the QRP category.and if that wasn't enough later that day the Postman dropped off an envelope, also from the ARRL, containing a certificate for First Place in Ontario East for the same contest.

The Adventures of VE3FI: April 2015

http://ve3clq.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

The Adventures of VE3FI. Thursday, 30 April 2015. Links to this post. Wednesday, 29 April 2015. Some New Toys . Received a couple of new toys today from Buddipole. To add to my private stock of their parts. When I use the Buddipole I very rarely ever use it as a dipole.with the exception of 10m, where it works very well, normally I use it in the vertical mode, so this one whip will allow me to pack just one whip and two arms and operate from 10m to 20m. Bonus! Links to this post. Sunday, 26 April 2015.

The Adventures of VE3FI: July 2014

http://ve3clq.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

The Adventures of VE3FI. Sunday, 13 July 2014. IARU Contest - The Follow Up. VE3MNE taking a break. Let me start off by stating that I've had far worse contest results.in fact some have been so bad they became "non-contests". This contest was not one of my better ones. Only 71 contacts in the log from 34 countries, not very happy with that, but that's the way it goes sometimes. It was not until about 2300 UTC that the bands really came alive and DX could hear us. Most of my contacts were made on 15m,...

The Adventures of VE3FI: January 2015

http://ve3clq.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

The Adventures of VE3FI. Wednesday, 21 January 2015. An Ontario Radio Society? I have just discovered the following article on the blog site of Rod Hardman, VE3RHF. And it was written last November.and what a marvellous idea that article is! Anyway, let's have a look at his Blog article:. I'm hearing rumbling from Ontario Hams about a desire to form (reform) an Ontario Amateur Radio Society. It is an interesting "inversion" of President Bawden's recent TCA message regarding ARES, pushing responsibility f...

The Adventures of VE3FI: November 2014

http://ve3clq.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

The Adventures of VE3FI. Friday, 28 November 2014. Get Well Soon - - - VA3QV. Most of you who read my blog know of the good natured ribbing that I give Bob, VA3QV, and likewise he gives me. Bob was admitted to hospital last Tuesday, 25th November, to have his right knee, which was pretty much shot, replaced with a Titanium version. This is the second knee he has had replaced.so he's half way to becoming the real $6 Million man! Ain't modern medicine great? Links to this post. Tuesday, 18 November 2014.

The Adventures of VE3FI: February 2015

http://ve3clq.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

The Adventures of VE3FI. Friday, 20 February 2015. February - A Quiet Month. February is one of those strange months, you know, one without any major ham radio contest in it, and I'm sure we're all getting quite fed-up with the cold winter and piles of snow about the landscape. I'm hoping that March will be much different with two major contests during the month, the ARRL International SSB DX Contest on March 7th and 8th (Rules HERE. And the CQ World-Wide WPX SSB Contest on March 28th and 29th (Rules HERE.

The Adventures of VE3FI. Friday, 31 July 2015. August is going to be a busy month! It's hard to believe that August arrives tomorrow. I don't seem to be able to wrap my mind around that yet. Before we know it we'll be carrying out the usual annual preventative maintenance on our antenna systems before winter hits! I've already posted the information about the upcoming Colorado 14er Event. And the rules for the ILLW can be found HERE. My plan for this weekend is to operate from Nine Mile Lighthouse. The g...
