Many have been working NJ7H/VE8 and /VE7 as he travels through rare grids in the Northwest Territories and other Provinces. Unfortunately he started having problems with his antenna cables and that caused him to start using his whip on the car for transmit and limiting operations to FO-29 passes.
Today the problems were fixed, if only temporarily, all due to the help of a Canadian Ham who is not a satellite operator. Tim Repas, VE7XIX, who lives in Taylor BC, near Fort St. John met up with Gabe earlier today and helped him get his cables working again. This is yet another story of hams helping other hams they have never met before. And the story probably won't find its way into QST magazine either.
So I would encourage all of us who have been working Gabe and those who just might be readers on the board, to send an email of appreciation to Tim at his QRZ address. It just might make his day; he certainly helped make ours!
