Amateur Radio Operators everywhere are often the victim of malicious interference from persons or persons, known or otherwise.  This is a fact and it is not going to change ever, no matter how much enforcement is provided by the government regulators of the World.  But who is worse: the morons that operate that interfere or those of the supposed upstanding citizen segment that engage them? 

Seriously do you think that you have the argument that is actually going to make these fools wake up and discover Jesus?  You have the profound wisdom that will make an intoxicated and belligerent  repeater jammer  become everyone's favorite net controller? 

NEWS FLASH YOU DON'T

If you engage a jammer you are just as bad as they are.  Not partially, exactly the same as they are.  You give them the audience they crave, you are the sunshine that makes their foul mouth bloom.  You are part of the minority that gives our hobby a bad impression.  Wake the Hell up sunshine, shut up and or turn the dial to one of the 100 other repeaters in your area that are usually quiet.  Perhaps you can try a different band or mode?  If you can not resist the urge to comment to Mr. Jammer then perhaps you are the one one that needs the new hobby with less stress and temptation?  Just sayin...

This is the VE7IOX MOT, a carefully engineered emergency response vehicle.  When we break out the MOT please know that this vehicle is QRV on 440 MHz, 900 MHz, 1.2 GHz and 2.4 GHz with an array of digital voice and data modes as well as good old FM analog.  These antennas have been carefully engineered to avoid parasitic interactions with each other because who needs to be dealing with nasty parasites when they are off to an emergency?  No matter what the emergency this command vehicle is ready to be on the job and has amazing fuel efficiency to boot. 

Our list of acceptable emergencies includes:

Coffee
Field Day
Bunny Hunts
QSO Parties
New repeaters on the air
Bullshit sessions at local Candy Store

This uninspiring vehicle can navigate a Tim Horton's Drive Through lineup with the best of them and afford the latest and greatest technology to operate on bands which need to be warmed up from time to time. 
​VE7NFR members boldly operate where few have operated before!

North Fraser Amateur Radio Club VE7NFR is happy to announce a strategic alliance with UR7UT in the Ukraine.

North Fraser Amateur Radio Club is pleased to announce that the VE7NFR Parade Command Vehicle is now on the air!  After months of installation work and with attention to detail The Beast is ready for action.  Whether or not it's the Santa Clause Parade, Maple Ridge Mountain Festival, or Coquitlam's Teddy Bear Parade we are ready to man the barricades!  That's right, we will man the barricades in shiny green vests and stand by for the signal to put up the barricade and then wait patiently for the signal to take down the barricade.  You can rest assured that with this command vehicle that signal will get through no matter what frequency or mode the operator is using.  We take barricade manning very seriously as an errant left hand turning car could cause seconds of delay in a parade.  Our operators are trained not to fall asleep by listening to hours of check in only nets.  Contact us for more info or to book.

With the permanent installation of the repeater antenna, the first 900 MHz amateur radio repeater in British Columbia is on the air!  Testing has proved that the signal is very robust and the repeater has great ears.  The Kenwood TK-981 15W mobiles are performing well in mobile situations with simple glass mount antennas. Repeater is on 927.9875 with a 25MHz down offset. The PL tone is 114.8 encode/decode. Coverage is very good through out Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam, East Coquitlam & Westwood Plateau.  Had very workable QSO almost to Abbotsford while driving on the Freeway. Westward the QSO was lost around Lougheed Mall and the Freeway.  There is also great coverage in North Surrey and North Langley, Fort Langley areas as well.  Now we need to work on location number 2, link the repeaters and start the 900 MHz wide area network with the dream of covering the entire Lower Mainland & Fraser Valley on one repeater system.
