Patch Codes
The new auto patch codes were changed on VE3RCK Nov 4th. And shortly after by John VE3AMZ via phone on his return from the East Coast.

New Antenna for VE3KSR
For those members asking about Latest news is that its scheduled to arrive before long as we are waiting for transportation to get the antenna, from its existing site, to Kitchener. KSR is still working FB on the old antenna that was fixed with new hard line.

ULR issue (from Tedd VE3TJD)
About 2 weeks ago, the "hill" lost power and KSR lost it's memory. After that we noticed that KSR wouldn't bring up BHR. We tried going directly into BHR (447.075...131.8 tone) and still couldn't get the KSR-BHR link up.

I powered down the link electronics while I checked out KSR. Sure enough, the LED was lighting, so we thought the problems was with the link setup. While up at the hill, I was chatting with AMZ on the phone. We reset KSR, and entered all the default data into the controller. After turning the power onto the link box, we tried to operate the link....IT WORKED...BOTH WAYS!

To make a long story even longer.....everything is fine now. BHR will turn on KSR and visa-versa.

Update on ULR Codes
I spoke with a ULR rep at the ULR table at the Newmarket Hamfest and purchased the latest code and info sheets on the ULR system. We will reproduce the ULR info I received for our members and scan to post on the web site secure mode for members only.

That’s all for now
