With the change in seasons, comes a change on the website. The new link for the website is now www.qsl.net/ve3rek/sgbwsares If you have any suggestions, please don't hesitate to let me know how it can be upgraded and modified to better serve you the ARES stations. The South Georgian Bay West Simcoe ARES along with the South Georgian Bay Amateur Radio Club will be taking part in Field Day again this year. We are still looking for someone to coordinate the event. If you are interested, please contact Greg VA3KUG at [email protected]. A perminant Telpac Gateway station has been established in Wasaga Beach. The location for the gateway is at the Wasaga Distribution office. Callsign is VE3WBH-10 and is on 144.970 simplex at 1200 baud. A great thanks goes out to Wasaga Distribution for providing the location and internet connection.

SSTV Experiment Stations in the SGBWS Area recently conducted
a successful experiment using SSTV on 2m repeater and simplex frequencies.
VE3UJK, VE3REK, and VE3LKI swapped pictures and text over the space of
about one hour. The test was very successful, and considerations
are to have a regular SSTV Net. Interested?
Contact any of the above stations to discuss.
