Amateur Radio

I’m fairly new to amateur radio, but I currently hold my Canadian Amateur Radio Basic Qualification (with Honours) and am active with my callsign VE7TZB from home and the outdoors.

Some of the clubs I belong to are:

You can check out my profile on QRZ or POTA.app if you want to log a contact.

I maintain a Discord bot that makes it easier to interact with various amateur radio information sources. It is hosted on a private git server so get in touch with me if you are interested in obtaining a copy of the source for your Discord server.

My Rigs #

My QTH shack is pretty barebones, consisting of a Kenwood TM-D710G 50W mobile transceiver connected to a Diamond X50A antenna in my attic.

For portable use I have a Kenwood TM-D75A, and a Yaesu FT450D HF transceiver paired with a VE7LSE 10-15-20-40-80m linked dipole topped on a 23ft mast that I deploy on location for Parks on the Air and Summits on the Air activations.

In my truck I run a Kenwood TM-D710A (modified with internal GPS) 50W mobile transceiver connected to a Comet CA-2X4SR dual band 40” antenna mounted to my roof rack.
