Winter Field Day – 2025
Winter Field Day 2025 – by Peter VE7PAE
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.

2024 10 13 RNH Roof Repairs
RNH Roof Report: October 15, 2024
Last Sunday Phil Baker/VE7BPH, Dave Hadley/VA7HDY, Tony Rizzi and Peter Rizzi/jVE7RZZ met at Peter’s QTH to make the trek up to RNH to reinforce a sagging roof. Murphy eased his nose into the plans which required a modification to the telepoles before we could leave. Steel plates had to be cut and welded onto the teleposts so that a piece of plywood could be attached to the top of the post and at the bottom so it could be secured to a 6″x6″ post that sat on the floor. Check the pictures. Once that was done we were able to get underway for what was a two hour drive up to Granite Peak with two pickup trucks loaded with teleposts, 6×6 timbers, two 45-gallon drums of emulsion, to seal the roof surface, and all the tools needed to get the job done. The road up to Granite Peak has not been maintained for some time so was rough to very rough once we left the pavement. Twenty KPH was moving quickly.

Summer tower work.
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.
Repeater Coverage Exercise
In order to verify the coverage of the Shuswap Amateur Radio Club repeaters compared to modeling data, the club decided to organize and hold an exercise to determine the actual coverage of the VHF repeaters on the major highway routes in the region.
