Re: May Meeting Schedule Options

 

Very weird, your email was there and then it wasn't. So had to go into the web-group to respond.
?
Shoulder doing well. Finished first round of PT (12 sessions) and have been 'approved' by insurance for another batch. Range of motion up to where the doc wanted it, now have to work on strengthening the 'support structure'.
Wrist and hand aches and 'neuropathy?' still present but not as bad as it was. I can actually write fairly legibly.
?
Now I've got to work on getting back on the air! Haven't turned on a radio in waaaay too long. Not sure I remember how.
Let's see, got to start the motor to drive that sparky thing. Then throw those two big switches...No, No don't touch that thing!!!

RAC Will Not Attend Hamvention this Year


?
RAC ne sera pas ¨¤ la Hamvention cette ann¨¦e

For immediate release |?
Pour diffusion imm¨¦diate

April 8, 2025 | avril 8, 2025

At its meeting on March 27, 2025, the Board of Directors of Radio Amateurs of Canada voted unanimously to cancel RAC¡¯s plans to operate a booth at Hamvention (Dayton) in Xenia, Ohio in May. This decision was not taken lightly and was made with deep regret as our members and volunteers always look forward to attending this significant international event.?

Lors de sa r¨¦union du 27 mars 2025, le Conseil d'administration de Radio Amateurs du Canada a vot¨¦ ¨¤ l'unanimit¨¦ l'annulation du projet de RAC de tenir un kiosque ¨¤ la ¡°Hamvention¡± (Dayton) organis¨¦e en mai ¨¤ Xenia, en Ohio. Cette d¨¦cision n'a pas ¨¦t¨¦ prise ¨¤ la l¨¦g¨¨re et a ¨¦t¨¦ rendue avec un profond regret, car nos membres et b¨¦n¨¦voles ont toujours h?te d'assister ¨¤ cet important ¨¦v¨¦nement international.?

The relationship between Canada and the United States has become increasingly strained due to recent trade disputes and tariffs imposed by the US government.?Adding to these challenges, controversial remarks from US leaders, including suggestions of Canada becoming the 51st state, have heightened concerns about Canadian sovereignty.?

Les relations entre le Canada et les ?tats-Unis sont de plus en plus tendues en raison des r¨¦cents diff¨¦rends commerciaux et des tarifs douaniers impos¨¦s par le gouvernement am¨¦ricain. En plus de ces d¨¦fis, les remarques controvers¨¦es faites par divers dirigeants am¨¦ricains, au nombre desquelles les suggestions selon lesquelles le Canada deviendrait le 51e??tat, ont accru les inqui¨¦tudes concernant la souverainet¨¦ canadienne.

For Canadians, these tensions have had tangible impacts and?there has been a decline in cross-border travel and tourism.

Pour les Canadiens, ces tensions ont eu des r¨¦percussions tangibles et se sont notamment traduites par une r¨¦duction des voyages transfrontaliers et du tourisme.

It is a complex and evolving situation, but it is our hope that we will be able to return to Hamvention in future years and we hope that Canadian Amateurs who do attend the event will have a safe and enjoyable experience.

Il s'agit l¨¤ d'une situation complexe et susceptible d¡¯¨¦voluer d¡¯heure en heure, mais nous esp¨¦rons que nous pourrons retourner ¨¤ la ¡°Hamvention¡± dans les ann¨¦es ¨¤ venir, et que les amateurs canadiens qui assisteront ¨¤ cet ¨¦v¨¦nement vivront une exp¨¦rience agr¨¦able en toute s¨¦r¨¦nit¨¦.

Since I remember a gentle chide from Joe after I unloaded my KPA/KAT 500 combo without offering to send it cross-country first:
Do either of you have an interest in a K4F (NON-D model)? Sorry Peter, I can¡¯t ship that far south of the border ;>).

VERY low mileage (hours) on it, just much more radio than I need at this point.
Will throw in a XV-144 2 meter transverter (unbuilt, in original boxes, still supported by Wayne & crew & the K4).

More info if interest. Price somewhere in the $4800 +/- range ¡°depending¡±.
