We have planned an important and pertinent technical presentation by Greg McKinney, VA6GMC
Radio construction, antenna installation, test equipment fabrication and RF operations has been a part of amateur radio operations since its inception over a hundred years ago. Importantly, amateur radio operators have obligation to eliminate RF interference during RF operations and equipment testing. Greg will present construction methods and project results for a RF dummy load he has designed for use within his station. In addition, Greg will discuss practical and required workshop safety procedures, best practices and workflow techniques to ensure our “homebrew” construction projects are successful and occur without incident or injury.
Please plan to attend the CAARC April meeting to participate in this information session.

Have you ever wanted to operate one of the Radio Amateurs of Canada callsigns, well now may be your chance. World Amateur Radio Day takes place April 18, 2024, and I am looking for volunteers to operate VE6RAC. You’re welcome to operate for the full 24h duration but, even if you can only manage a 2-4h slot, I want to hear from you.
The stipulations to operate VE6RAC are as follows:
- Be a paid up member of Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC)
- Be able to submit a log of contacts made, so RAC can send QSL cards.
There’s no restriction on band or mode.
