MANNA@89 weekend almost over. We did quite well in BC so far despite horribly noisy QRN. We even managed to separate Stan VA7NF from his key long enough to make a rare phone contact. Worked all except two MANNA/ChowHound stations but W4C and VK80MANM we're still hunting for you.

Who said kids are not into Amateur Radio. We just graduated this mom and her two kids from our last on-line course. The kids are age 11 and 13 and passed the written exam AND a CW endorsement! Congratulations and see you on the bands. Our next course starts April 7th

Our special event callsign for MANNA @ 80 is confirmed as VB7MAN. Don't know about MANNA? It is the 80th anniversary of a lifesaving food drop to the starving residents of NW Holland in WW2. See www.qrz.com/db/VB7MAN and ve7sar.blogspot.com/2025/02/oper...

We've had a lot of positive responses to a recent article posted in the January-February Communicator. Its called "A different kind of Foxhunt", ad its suitable for the urban fox hunters out there.
