Stuff For Sale Updated!

29 Aug 06: Okay, this time I really have updated the "stuff for sale" page. I'm taking this to the Barrie swapmeet on September 9, then holding a one-day garage sale on September 10. After that, a lot of this goes to the dump; the big-ticket stuff gets listed on the various swap shop nets. See the complete list. -- I'll be updating it frequently until September 9th. Offers will be considered! Send queries and offers to sale@ve3rhj.net.

Web pages I have created

What is Amateur Radio? Created for visitors to our club's booth at the 1998 Split Rail Festival, with no Internet connection available, these pages display from "local" files. Feel free to adapt them to your club's needs...but be aware of the many references specific to Canada, and to the Flesherton area. Warning: includes many images; may take a while to load.
4-Week Amateur Radio Course: Our club taught the Canadian Basic amateur radio qualification in four weekends. Here's the outline from our last course. See also the article above.
