Season's Greetings and workshop update

 A brand new year and lots is happening:

We'd like to wish our GOTAs a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hopefully, there were some ham radio toys waiting for you under the tree. 😊

GOTA Workshop

Our next GOTA Workshop for New and Unseasoned Hams is scheduled for Saturday, January 13th from 9:30-noon. The workshop will take place at our Operations Training Centre (OTC) at 5752 142 St. Surrey. The Workshop is free and the agenda is attached to this email. Please Register –> HERE

GOTA Net

Going forward, on the first Thursday evening of each month an Elmer will discuss a topic of interest with the Roundtable. Our last topic was DMR Radio as presented by John VE7TI. It was a lively session and provoked your Net Control to purchase an Anytone 578 DMR radio. As a follow-up, John will discuss IRLP on the Thursday, January 4th GOTA Net.

Links and Books

For those who may not have received this, here are two excellent articles by Reg VE7ZEB on radio purchase comparisons:

Article 1: HTs Compared 2022

Article 2: My Ham Radio - Some radio things I find useful

And a few e-books Larry VE7LXB found very helpful his 1st year as a Ham:

That's it for now. Have fun and stay safe on New Years, catch you on the airwaves in January.
