A Fun Place To Visit 

An Independent Amateur Radio Operator
Who Just Keeps Busy Blazing His Own Trail.

As an amateur radio operator my passion these days is talking to some of my out of town ham friends via 
EchoLink on my computer. 
VE6AGE-L 
Simplex Node # 492973. 

All this is done via RF through
my home, mobile or portable VHF/UHF radios. 

Favorite HF Nets
-The 20 Meter "Over The Hill Gang" Net.
The net is on weekdays at 14:30 UTC on 14.321 MHz.
 
-The 20 Meter "SATERN Net"(Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network Net).
The net is on Weekdays and Saturday at 14:30 UTC on 14.265 MHz.

-The 20 Meter "Trans Canada Net".
This net is only on Sunday and National Holidays at 18:00 UTC on 14.140 MHz which is also the Canadian Calling Frequency.

-The 40 Meter "Canadian Aurora Net".
The afternoon net is on daily at 23:30 UTC on 7.055 MHz.
The evening net is on Wednesday and Sunday at 02:30 UTC on 7.055 MHz.

-The 80 Meter APSN "Alberta Public Service Net".
This net is on daily at 01:30 UTC on 3.700 MHz.

Local VHF/UHF Simplex Frequencies That I Monitor

FM 146.520(S), 146.580(S) and 446.000(S) are the only 3 simplex frequencies that I monitor on my communication scanners and on my VHF/UHF radios while at home in my ham shack or while driving around town in my truck.

I no longer have the desire to monitor noisy repeaters.

I myself find that simplex communications are way much quieter, dependable and much more enjoyable and should be used more often by all amateur radio operators.

Out of town amateur radio operators, if you're ever driving through Medicine Hat, please give me a call on the National Calling Frequencies 146.520(S), 446.000(S) or 146.580(S) which is linked to EchoLink as VE6AGE-L Node # 492973.

I'm probably one of the very few local amateur radio operators that is on the air most of the time during the day.

News:

Saturday May 26th, 2012
Wow, stopped in a garage sale at the the Bow Island community arena and got me an Astron 13.8 VDC / 10 Amp / 7.5 Continuous Power Supply. And it works fine. Now the kicker is I only paid $2.00.

And I got me another metal briefcase for $3.00. This one is smaller than the other that I have. It will be good to store some EMCOMM stuff. 

I need donations please. My goal is to raise $2,000.00 in order for me to complete an Emergency Radio Grab & Go Box for our local SATERN group.

Go to the SATERN Of Medicine Hat page to donate via the "PayPal Donate Button". 

Thanks to all that have already donated, the ball is now rolling.
