VHF NET - Monday Morning 0700L - 0800L. VE3ERX/VE3NFM. Net controller - DAVE VE3GTM
HF NET - Sunday Morning 0900L - ??. 3.768MHz LSB (+/- QRM). Net controller - Paul VA3PC
COFFEE - Saturdays at NorthGate Square. 1000L-1100L (+/-). In front of A & W
It was a tad cool this morning, but fortified by hot java (the liquid stuff not the programming language) Henry KD8LWV, Gerry VE3YO, Mike VA3MPR, Bruce VA3BDR, Dan VE3YUI and I ran communications for the event.
Doug VA3DLJ stayed warm at home and ran the HF net for me, and then stood by in case we needed a message passed.
We ran the comms on 146.52 and except for a little doubling had no issues.
No incidents. The only confusion came when we were trying to find out who the sweep was. (Lady on 10 speed with green jacket).
Drew is out of town, so a quick reminder of the meeting tonight.
I'll have to take minutes, so hopefully it will be a short one.
See you there!

I just got this from Bill VA3SPT. Please reply directly to Bill silver@ontera.net or (705) 476-4752 as I am leaving town tomorrow Friday, until Wednesday Oct 21 and won't be able to help. This is a fun event that usually doesn't take too long. Hi Drew Please send out the following to the group. Hi Folks The fourth annual North Bay General Hospital Walk/Run happens Sunday October 18th at Lee Park. They have requested our help again this year. So I am looking for volunteers to help with safety communications. So if you can help please let me know.
Well it is that time of year. The kids have been back in school for a week now. The weather has gotten nice and it is time for the first NBARC meeting for the season. We had a very busy summer season and there will be reports on the events that happened. I'm sure Bill VA3SPT has a few things that he will be bringing us up to speed on. Come on out and see everyone after the summer and catch up.
Start thinking about the CHRISTMAS PARTY as it is only 3 months away.
I must admit I stole this but I thought you might get a kick out of it......
The Mattawa Canoe Race was held Saturday July 25th. The race starts at Olmstead Beach on Trout Lake and finishes up on the Mattawa Island in Mattawa. The weather started out ok but did give us a few problems during the afternoon. There are three checkpoints and a finish line that need to be manned. Checkpoints 1 and 3 are vehicle accessable. Getting a radio signal to VE3NBR 147.15(+) from checkpoint 1 is impossible so a vehicle with cross band repeat was set-up. This worked very well. Checkpoint 3 can access the repeater depending on exact location from the checkpoint.
