Forgetting to remove my antenna before entering the car wash may not help with ⁦@Kennerknecht⁩ ‘s 146.52 challenge….

QSL card haul from the @RACTWEETS bureau ✉️

VA7FBS on air for the @arrl DX SSB contest. Had a good time, got some new DX for the club, but I still need to get a decent antenna for the low bands; got skunked on 80M. @BSradioclub @RACTWEETS @WorldRadioLeag

Black Sheep Radio Club (VA7FBS) @winterfieldday 2026 Recap 🧵

@VA7FC Got rained on, had to walk, didn't even get a nice view from the top of a lookout. 0/10 would do again.

You'll have to take my word for this one, due to a monsoon and the darkness ruining the shot, but normally @VA7USD & I are out in 4x4 Pickups; today we were out 4-wheeling in two soccer mom mobiles. Thanks to everyone who chased us today on our #POTA rove! Great day of #hamradio

4th #POTA of the day with @VA7USD CA-4313, in 14.338...

Thank you to some of our amazing hunters, like @K1STG, KK7MIE, K7EDM, and AA5EY. Shout out to the ops who came out to say hi as we passed through 3 grids! Thanks to @WorldRadioLeag for logging! Shout out to the pubs and places that fueled us as well!

Just posted the logs for our rove. Hundreds of contacts, I ended up with 211 unique QSOs eligible for the @RACTWEETS Portable Operations Challenge. If you've never seen it, I'd encourage VA/VEs to check it out for 2026: rac.ca/rac-challenge/

@BSradioclub @discord @POTAspots @RACTWEETS Sunrise at Durrance Lake, BC

@BSradioclub @discord @POTAspots @RACTWEETS Gotta get up early to get the DX

BSRC @discord is abuzz with exploits from a @POTAspots rove taking place on Vancouver Island. Several Black Sheep are grinding out parks in a rush to get on the 2025 podium for the @RACTWEETS Canadian Portable Operations Challenge.

Yesterday's #POTA activations of CA-0066 & CA-4051 out in Port Renfrew, BC - 115 total contacts across four total activations of the two parks. A pretty good #hamradio day with @VA7USD - who has all the good pictures.

@VA7FC, @VA7USD, @VE6LK, @Martyupnorth pretty sure you’re the only Canuck’s on X whose opinion’s matter. Am I right? 🤣

@HamRadioOutlet 😆 - to be fair, at least your prices are better than the 🧛‍♂️ at #Radioworld - those have to be the most painful prices in 🇨🇦

@VA7USD It's ok... if you don't like the discount you can always pay full price. 🤣

My first #SSTV image decodes from Articsat-1 (#RS74S) satellite in CN88GO. Not great, but happy to see my first decodes from something other than @ARISS_Intl!

Sorry if I pronounced your name wrong, @VA7FC . I worked Shoey during POTA today at US-1158 in California. 73 de W6OBB #POTA #ParksOnTheAir #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #DX
