73 from the Jamboree! We were on the air from beautiful Camp Nedooae in
Elderbank, Nova Scotia from July 8th through 15th! Thousands of youth and volunteers enjoyed a great jamboree and many had their first introduction to Amateur Radio in the radio tent.
HF Equipment consisted of an iCom IC-746PRO transceiver, an off-center-fed dipole for 80/40/20m, and an HF vertical for 20/17/12/10m. VHF and IRLP We also operated VHF 2m via local repeaters (below) and IRLP. VE17JAM used 2m repeater VE1HAR (Truro NS) 147.135+ (IRLP 2370) and local 2m repeater VE1MHR (Musquodoboit Harbour NS) 147.030+ (no IRLP). VHF equipment consisted of an iCom IC-208H transceiver and a VHF vertical antenna. HARC Club Support We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Halifax Amateur Radio Club (HARC), especially Bill VE1MR, Dick VE1AI, Doug VE1LDL and Tom VE1GTC, for their assistance with equipment and operations. |
