Hi Rajesh,

wonderful! I have been hoping to organize something like this here in my neighbourhood. To that end I had contacted the CBC (Canadian Broadcast Organization) who have offered to do a spot on radio about learning amteur radio, and perhaps they will put an article on their webpage.

When I saw your notice on Southgate News this morning I sent the link to our CBC reporter.

Thanks and good luck.

On another note, I thought that I could do a quick demonstration for CBC and still keep personal spacing by taking my TMV-71A with an Arrow Antenna and working a couple of stations on the FM satellites. It has been several months since I've been on satellite, hopefully I won't disappoint the reporter with zero contacts. When we set up a time for the demonstration I may post something on this list. Its 5AM at the moment and its -31C at the moment, fortunately its expected to warm up to -20C during the day, good enough for a few minutes of operating outdoors :-)
