Thanks for looking me up!

Ex VE3GBA, Windsor, Ontario until 1995. Also VE7DXG. I also have VA7ISL that we use as a multiop callsign in VHF contests.

VE7JH was Harry Billard's callsign until he passed away.

The VE7JH callsign was reissued to me in April 2012.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I live on Vancouver Island, IOTA NA-036.

I am active on VHF, usually as a portable on 50, 144, 222, 432, 903, 1296 and 10,368. I made a few EME and meteor scatter contacts in the past.

I also enjoy HF contesting mainly on CW but also on SSB. My home station is an ICOM-706 with 100W, a 3el tribander and wires for the lower bands.

I sometimes guest operate VE7UF's station, there I have stacked Yagis and kW, much easier to work DX, HI.

I sometimes play with JT65 HF as well.

I am happy to QSL. Direct cards are answered direct, no need for SASE. Contest logs are uploded to LOTW. All bureau cards are answered 100% every few months. I also have the VE7DXG and VA7ISL callsign and can get you a VE7CVA (our club's callsign) card as well.

I have some Youtube videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/VE7DXG Some are even radio related.

That's me with an anonymous helper setting up the 4x13 222MHz array on a mountaintop. (Photo courtesy of N7EPD)

L-R: N7EPD, K7ND, KE7V, VE7JH (then VE7DXG), W7YOZ and K7CW

This is the usual 222MHz and up setup at VA7ISL on Mt. Brenton (CN88bv). Can you guess the antennas?

OK, I'll help: top to bottom: 55el for 1296, 28el for 432, 15el for 222, 4x33 for 903.

There is a 60cm dish for 10GHz, a 2m vertical and a 6el 144MHz "Cheap Yagi" for 10HGz liaison.
