WELCOME
to the
Echolink....Connecting the SSBPD repeaters to the World
Amateur Radio Links and Programs so you do not have
to look all over the Web. I will try to make it as useful as possible.
I will also include links to some of my favorite Sites and Programs.
Hope you enjoy them !
.....I have been an Amateur operator since 1982. I hold the Advanced certificate.
I am also an Industry Canada Designated examiner. My interests in Amateur Radio began when a neighbour first gave me a Hallicrafters S-38 short wave receiver and a set of WW2 surplus headphones. I still remember listening to hams on 40 and 80 metres late into the night. Who could ever forget "The Puke Net" or that famous CQ....no lids , no kids, no space cadets... this is W2OY.
Over the past years I have exchanged QSL cards with fellow Amateur Radio Operators. These
cards are used as confirmation of your contact. I have enclosed a few of my more memorable cards
I have received. Press QSL to see them.
My station consists of a TS850,FT900 and Icom 706-MK2G for HF into a 3 element beam at about 45 feet along with 80/40/30/17/12 metre dipoles. I also run UHF/VHF SSB using an Icom 821
I am active on all bands and usually can be found watching SSTV on 14.230 or 14.233. You can also find me chatting on the easysats using the VE3VRW satellite gateway.
Our repeater group is actively tracking and working SO50, AO27, AO51 and the International Space Station.
We use a tracking program called MacDoppler Pro
to provide a downlink gateway via our repeater system.
