Canada Day 2019

Canada Day 2018, back to using our Club Call VE3DC

The OQP 2018. Another venture up north using VE3RCB

The CQWW160M SSB Contest, back to using VE3DC for the first time in 2018

Our last time using VC3C2C on the RAC Winter Contest December 30, 2017

The RAC Winter contest is one that we like to do because we get
to see what the weather is like in Newfoundland and all the Provinces.
The cold and the little bit of snow was nothing for us Canadians to
weather to have fun working everyone we could.
This was the last time the VE3DC group was able to use the special event
callsign for Canada’s 150th Birthday and the 85th Anniversary of the
Hamilton Amateur Radio Club.
We definitely had fun using this unique call all year. Lots of the
stations we worked had worked us before and knew that we had two numbers
in a rather strange call. I really think it was fitting to use this call
in the RAC Contests.

Held on the third full weekend of October each year, this worldwide jamboree requires no travel, other than to a nearby radio amateur’s ham shack. Many times the hams will come to you by setting up at a Scout camporee, or perhaps they already have a ham shack at your council’s camp. There are many ways to get your Scouts involved in JOTA. There are no official hours, so you have the whole weekend to make JOTA contacts. The event officially starts Friday evening and runs through Sunday evening. http://www.scouting.org/jota.aspx You can find a searchable database of clubs at www.arrl.org/find-a-club . •	19 JOTA - Jamboree On The Air JOTA - Jamboree On The Air October 18, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - October 20, 2019 @ 7:00 pm TBA The Jamboree-on-the-Air, or JOTA, is an annual Scouting event that uses amateur radio to link Scouts around the world, around the nation, and in your own community.
