Today I stopped by the club station to play radio with Mike (VE3LTN). The conditions were much like they have been in months past – a few openings here and there, but the bulk of the traffic appeared to be on 20m.
It was nice to have a chance to work with Mike again – he is a very personable guy and is super easy to get along with. Together, we spoke with many members of the public – young and old, about amateur radio. It was great to have so many people come by and ask questions.
As the afternoon approached, the bands started to close up and the museum became quiet so I ducked out a little earlier than usual. Tonight I am going to meet Robert (VE2AGE) to pick up a nice FT-101E that I am buying from him. I hope to put that radio to good use on the HF bands in the very near future.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you at the museum some time!
