Do you have a special event coming up? Or maybe you’ve just had one? Why not let the rest of Canada know about it? It’s easy to do.
Send us by email a digital image in JPG format that is around 500 kilobytes (no bigger than 1 meg) in size. Just about any digital point and shoot or DSLR camera will do the trick. Make sure your subject(s) can be seen clearly and that the shot is fairly close up. Include in the email a line or two of information as follows: Who (left to right); What; Where; Why; and When. If you’ve got more information and would like to send it please do so. If you wish to take the time to actually do a small write-up I’d recommend keeping it to no more than 200 to 400 words.
If you’ve got a video clip posted to YouTube, please send us the link and a short description of what viewers will see and I’ll post that as well.
Field Day, hamfests, club meetings, ARES events, antenna parties and just about anything else that has to do with amateur radio in Canada is welcome.
If you have any questions or need any guidance don’t hesitate to contact blog@rac.ca

SS Keewatin Special Event
Amateur station VA3VGC, on board the SS Keewatin, will be active for
the Museum Ships Weekend Event (MSWE), June 1 and 2. Operation will be
from 8 am to 6 pm Eastern Time. Frequencies are listed on the event
web page, http://www.nj2bb.org/museum.
After decades in Michigan as a tourist attraction, the “Kee” returned
to its home port in Port McNicoll last year. Local hams are helping
to restore the original radio room, and will install a permanent
amateur station during this season. For more information about the
station visit tinyurl.com/keewatin; for ship information visit
