VE1YAR presented with a Ten Tec Omni 7
Author: ve1jax (Site Admin)
At the June 5, 2010 Saturday morning get-together of the Yarmouth A.R.C., members of the E.M.O. and of the Municipality of Yarmouth Council presented a Ten Tec Omni 7 transceiver to the club in appreciation of work that club members do for E.M.O. This transceiver will be placed at the secondary E.M.O. site in Hebron as part of the communications facilites there and it will be remotely accessible via the Internet, so in addition to being available for emergency use it will be available for general use by club members from their homes. This will be great for amateurs who, for one reason or another can’t have an HF antenna because they live in an apartment or a seniors’ complex on on a small lot. It will allow them to get on HF from a site with a good radio and a good antenna.
This photo shows the group making the presentation to the club and the transceiver itself. Included in the photo are:
Back Row: John Cunningham, Byron Boudreau, Murray Goodwin
Front Row: Harold Richardson, Leland Anthony and Bernie Bonnar accepting on behalf of the Yarmouth Amateur Radio Club.

Field Day 2010
Author: ve1solThis year, my plan is to operate from Copper Mountain in Quebec. This is located near Murdochville. Have Dipoles made up for 20 M and 80 M bands so far and as long as the weather holds up and all goes according to plans, I will be on the air from that location. Hope to hear many hams on the air.

Morse Code Practice
Author: ve1jax (Site Admin)CQ CQ CQ Calling all interested hams (and future hams)!
There will be CW practice (The Morse code is abbreviated CW for you newbies) on Wednesday evenings for about 30 minutes, beginning at 8 o’clock local time on the VE1YAR repeater 146.730 (-) MHz but if all interested parties can copy VE1LN on 146.865, we will use that repeater instead and leave VE1YAR available for others.
Practice will consist of plain language containing letters, numbers and a few punctuation marks sent at a speed of 12 words per minute. We started at 5 WPM, advanced to 10 WPM and now to 12 WPM, so progress is being made.
All interested amateur radio operators and future hams wishing to hone their CW skills are welcome to participate.
