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.

Lighthouses are fast becoming an endagered species with the introduction of Global Positioning Systems and Satellite Navigation and the automation of the light source to solar power which has resulted in the withdrawal of mangement personnel (Keepers). It is hoped that this event will highlight this situation and help prevent further desecration of these magnificent structures all around the world. This is not a contest.

NOTE: Station operation is normally a 9-4pm operating time, but be sure to check with Mike Krebs VA3WXS or Rick Danby ve3bk@hamiltonarc.ca for more details •
