Discover the Joy of Amateur Radio
The Amateur Radio Service offers a unique mix of public service, technology and experimenting with electronics all with an emphasis on fun. Some hams use their skills to provide communications during emergencies and disasters when other forms of communication fail. Others enjoy talking to people across the country and around the globe, participating in contests and building experiments. More Information

Field Day 2021
Field Day, the largest North American amateur radio event, takes place this weekend.
Recently the health authority has relaxed rules for group gatherings outdoors.
This creates an opportunity for us to gather for Field Day at the club station at the Cedar Creek Community Center, 5160 Chute Lake Road. Kelowna.
Here is the plan:
NORAC “OK 2m” Contest
The event will run on Sunday 8 August from 14:00 to 16:30 local time (Pacific time zone).
NORAC “OK 2m” Contest
Objective
The objective of this contest is to have fun & encourage as much on-air activity as possible throughout the Okanagan Valley with categories for novice amateurs who may have limited equipment on hand. The event provides an opportunity for as many Okanagan based radio amateurs as possible to get involved, requiring a minimum of equipment and a basic license level. You’re encouraged to get out and about and operate in the portable or mobile categories. A base station category is of course offered for those who want to work from their permanent location.

160 Meter Loop
The replacement of the 160 meter loop antenna at Chute Lake Road club shack has been completed. The loop cable has been replaced and the anchor points have been raised to a higher place in the trees. Features like using a pulley at all anchor points and three different locations where the antenna can be raised or lowered will extend the life of the new antenna and make maintenance a lot easier.
