Repeater Roundup November 11/12. The Repeater Roundup is a weekend-long event held on many of our local repeaters. The goal is to meet new people and work repeaters you might not usually key up. It's also a great way to get started with ham radio contests for folks who are primarily repeater users. Light up the air waves and make some noise on the great repeaters in the BC and Western Washington State areas! You don't even have to be local - any station may participate over Echolink, Allstar, or IRLP, if they are available. 2m QSO Party This contest is open to all certified amateurs. Each QSO must have one station within Metro Vancouver, Vancouver and Gulf Islands, Southwest BC in order to be considered for points. November 11th RTTY Contest: November 11/12. This contest will also be held at the OTC. CQ WAE DX Contest (CQ): November 25/26. Email Larry ve7lxb@gmail.com or John brodiejb@shaw.ca if you wish to participate in any of these contests or would like more information.
