Everyone is welcome !

This is a great way to meet and mingle with some of Ontario (and 
surrounding areas) VHF, UHF, uWave gurus and other weak signal, EME 
and satellite enthusiasts and experimenters. This is also a great 
opportunity to ask questions and network with people in these circles if 
you're just getting interested in weak signal operation.
