Anyone going who has an amateur (ham) radio licence? I just got mine (VA3JME) and if I make it this year, I will be using my radio the whole way down from Ottawa. Maybe if there's interest we could even use IRLP to hook up along the way?

So, this summer it's VA 4 JaMiE?
Check with StealthTDI. He's a relative "local" for this year, but he might know of other hamsters on the forums.

I'm afraid I can't of much help. I use a repeater in the area from time to time. But I'm not a regular operator. I also don't know anything about IRLP. Maybe now is a good time to learn? :)

Oh, IRLP is so cool! With a DTMF pad you can talk to the world on your HT. Check it out.. and we can set up a time to test. Dunno if we'll make it yet.. JP started a business this year and it's still in the growth phase so he may not be able to get time off.
