Field Day 2015

Amateur radio Field Day takes place on the weekend of June 27-28 this year.

At an HRECT meeting a few months ago it was agreed that the group’s ARES teams would try to hold an HRECT Field Day. The event will operate, using the Region’s VE3HAL call sign, from Parking Lot E, 1151 Bronte Road, Oakville, ON. Set up time is 9:00 am. on Saturday, June 27.

Anyone interested in taking part should contact ve3hal@gmail.com for further info.

Upgraded Repeater

Oakville REACT, an HRECT member team, has upgraded its VE3OKR UHF repeater to one of the new Yaesu DX-1r Fusion machines. The repeater is currently on the air in test mode and appears to be working well. VE3OKR may be found on 442.450 MHz (+).
