Ken VE7KBN acquired a new two letter callsign and henceforth will be using VE7HI as his new callsign

This year our club station won first place in the B.C. QSO Party in the Multi-Operator Low Power MIXED category. It is always nice to get a small token of recognition for our participation in the now annual B.C. contest.

With the help of the fire department, the new HF Antenna (Carolina Windom) has been installed at the arena. The antenna is strung between a 90 foot pole and an AC unit around 250 feet away. 

Jim has informed me that he now has all the needed components for the HF antenna. He has attached the Windom to a messenger line and is waiting for the Fire Chief to organize the installation.

Jim has received the go ahead from the city to purchase the Carolina Windom 80 for the Arena. He will then be reimbursed by the city once the equipment has been received. This is great news as we will now be able to ensure we get all the specific items we require for the installation.
