We received this message today from
Krzysztof SP5E:

100th Anniversary of the First Polish QSL‑Confirmed QSO

Today marks a truly significant milestone for Polish amateur radio - exactly 100 years since the first Polish QSO confirmed by a QSL card.

This week at VE3RHQ:
We finally got the 2m CP Yagi back up on the Glenn Martin tower. Weather was just bad enough to qualify as "antenna weather". One worry is that the elevation rotator would only move down, not up.

This week at VE3RHQ: Two steps forward, one back. While finalizing the cable run for the VHF CP Yagi, we found a fatally high SWR, so we took it down. Troubleshooting it is next Wednesday's task.
Made more progress finishing the polyphasers and varistors.

And @radioamateursrac.bsky.social is here in full strength, with me the VP as well as several IARU officers who happen to be Canadian.
The IARU General Assembly is under way, and we're already into some interesting discussions on spectrum defence, common interests, and forging good relationships.
