ARES REPORT Peter VE3UR spoke about the Hilly 100 bicycle race in Bancroft on September 11th and asked for volunteers to help
with the communications, as the route goes as far as Foymount for some riders there are a lot of areas where cell coverage is poor or does not exist.
OLD BUSINESS Ian VE3EP told the members that he had asked for help obtaining a marine receiver for the Mariners Museum. He actually received five radios from Sean VE3YUF Keith picked them up and one was repaired and installed. The antenna at the museum needs work so Ian and Kevin will repair the coax. Peter VE3KWM asked if the changes in signal from VE3TJU were due to changes at the repeater site, or propagation. It was felt propagation was the main reason as no changes had been made at the site. Tim VE3UO asked about linking the PERC web pages to the QARC pages. It was decided this would be a good idea. Tim will make the required changes The meeting adjourned at 9:54 pm NEXT MEETING Bloomfield Town Hall 7:30 pm October 7th 2010 |
