Cornwall VHF Contest 2009

This came after the posting below. Here we actually made it to the place we wanted to go, and operated.

We called the fire in, gave it’s location from the BC Forestry Lookout, which was once manned. When we called they had no idea where we were; sad really. The second fire was most exciting as we were the first to report it.

Old video taken and edited by VE7STK of a few of us that enjoy VHF contesting. This is us attempting to go to Thynne Mountain towards Merritt BC.

Here is where we were trying to get to:

Introducing another ham radio site….

Hi. I am Bob VE7WNK. In my 7-or-so years of being a ham radio operator I have run into all kinds of interesting sides of the hobby. Everything from community service to radio contesting, emergency communications support to hill-topping I will try cover the number of projects that I work on in this section of the website. Please feel free to leave me a comment or question pertaining to my projects.
