VE6DJC SILENT KEY

May 27th

It is with sadness I have to report that VE6DJC Doug Corrigan formally of Lacombe became a silent key on May 21 in Sherwood Park . Doug was very active on the VE6QE repeater system as well as HF. He was always a very happy person and was well known and loved throughout Lacombe and area.

He will be missed.

World Amateur Radio Day, April 18, 2024

Apr 1st

Posted by VA6SGL in General News

Have you ever wanted to operate one of the Radio Amateurs of Canada callsigns, well now may be your chance. World Amateur Radio Day takes place April 18, 2024, and I am looking for volunteers to operate VE6RAC. You’re welcome to operate for the full 24h duration but, even if you can only manage a 2-4h slot, I want to hear from you.

The stipulations to operate VE6RAC are as follows:

  1. Be a paid up member of Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC)
  2. Be able to submit a log of contacts made, so RAC can send QSL cards.

There’s no restriction on band or mode.

Interested? Then reach out to me dir.alberta.northwest.nunavut@rac.ca
