I'm also a member of KWARC - the Kitchener-Waterloo Amateur Radio Club, and elected 2009-2013 President, holding various other executive positions, including current treasurer.

Several times I've given a presentation about IRLP and our VE3RBM node.


"I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is exactly the same, except that there is no cat." -- Albert Einstein
