If you’re in Ottawa this evening with nothing to do….
The Ottawa Amateur Radio Club is meeting at City Hall tonight … The meeting starts officially at 1930 local but everyone shows up closer to 1900 to get a good seating location and chat with fellow amateurs…
From the OARC Website ( www.oarc.net) :
Next Meeting: The next regular meeting will be October 10 in the Col. By room of Ottawa City Hall at 7:30pm.Our speaker will be Martin Gillen, VA3SIE. He will speak on the subject of SOTA and FYBO contests/events
As hinted at (above) Martin is a very active QRP Portable Operator. He is very active in SOTA (Summits of the Air). We have operated together on two CISA DXPeditions as well as on several FYBO (Freeze your B***s off) and Winter Field Day events. Recently we activated Mt Morrisette in a SOTA Activation in mid June this year and we also were up on Mt Ste Marie in early September.
As you can see he also is not too bad with a Video Camera either…
If you are able to attend meeting I believe it will be time well spent…
Very good chance that you will also see Trisha and I there…
