In the Canadian war cemetery at Ravenna in Italy there are so many Canadian and Sikh graves. The Sikhs were side by side with the Canadians in the brutal battles through Italy.
They have served with valour in our armed forces.

Footage from the @meidascanada.ca townhall in Peterborough.
The storm isn't coming. The storm is here. It's all about being prepared for what is coming. We will get through this.
But it means showing up and taking back our democracy.

You didn’t miss much!
Lots of contesters on almost every band and poor conditions. You should take advantage of days like this to work on your head copy, using the ARRL code files. Any speed you need is available. Or maybe spend the day playing morsle.fun
Don’t worry, everyone makes mistakes.

The Netherlands showed us how it’s done. Enough of the nonsense! Sign it or by your inaction show your willingness to accept this crap. #ElbowsUp #ByeByePete #NoFacists #NotInCanada

Congratulations to 🇨🇦’s team the #TorontoBlueJays Not expected to win the AL East.! But instead won the AL East the ALCS and took the #LADodgers to extra innings in game 7 of the #WorldSeries. Nothing but respect for the #TorontoBlueJays and their stellar playoff run. #GoJaysGo #CanadasTeam #WellDone

Do your research ahead of time so you know what might be available and how much it is worth
Check websites for buying used Ham gear to get an idea of the price
Know what you would like based on what you can afford. Best if you can buy from someone you know or someone who you know that knows them

afford.best

The asking price is not the final price
Keep looking

You’d be surprised what you can find at a local Hamfest for a decent price GL

I think you might need to prioritize what you want in a rig. I would love a rig with all the fancy things but it’s not practical for me financially. So I looked around and found a rig that is 30 years old but has the warc bands and can run 100 watts. I put a narrow CW filter in it. Check hamfests.

My mistake I was thinking of the 817/818 nice rigs but need that CW filter. I’m running a TS820S so I get it. 😎

Only recommendation for the FT 891 is try and find one with the narrow CW filter in it. Can be difficult to find but absolutely worth it.

Buy an older rig!
New stuff is either overpriced or poorly made. Not a great choice!

Lying Pete Hoekstra is now dropping f bombs in his attacks on Canada.
He has the gall to accuse of us foreign interference. That was his entire MO when he was ambassador to the Netherlands. They sent him packing.
Canada needs to give this guy the bum's rush.

It’s not required buddy!
The thing is, that the more time you can spend on it,the quicker you will progress.
But as long as you consistently practice your speed and accuracy will improve.

Notice how quickly “we want our nation to uphold Christian values” turns into “it’s not the government’s job to feed the hungry or help the poor!” which are actually things Christ taught his followers to value.
