ONTARIO SECTION NEWS

3. London Amateur Radio Club sponsoring NVIS test.

The London Amateur Radio Club and the London ARES team would like to
invite you to participate
in an NVIS exercise we are planning for Sunday Feb 5.
We don’t use NVIS very often, and to verify you can operate
successfully, you need some test stations
within a couple of hundred miles. So we thought we’d invite Ontario
Amateur Radio Clubs and ARES
teams to participate in an exercise. We can all test out our NVIS
configurations and get an idea of what
the range of NVIS actually is. Feel free to invite others to join in.
We will operate as a directed net with a net controller here in London.
We plan on being on the air from 2 PM to 5 PM and our planned 40 meter
phone frequencies are
  7.225 MHz - primary    7.190 MHz - secondary      7.270 MHz - tertiary
As part of the check-in process, we will ask for some information:
    1. Your power level
    2. Your rough assessment of net control’s transmission quality:
Poor, OK, Good
    3. Your location
We hope to get this information onto a map somehow, and publish it on
the LARC.ca website.

4.    Proposals Sought to Host 2026 World Radiosport Team Championship
-- WRTC

The World Radiosport Team Championship Sanctioning Committee (WRTC-SC)
is accepting proposals
for hosting the 2026 WRTC event. The World Radiosport Team Championship
is an on-site amateur
radio competition, usually held every 4 years.

WRTC 2022, delayed due to COVID-19, is scheduled to be held in Bologna,
Italy, in July 2023.

Teams of two operators representing a geographical region of the world
come to the host site to
compete using similar antennas and locations, overseen by on-site
referees. The WRTC competition has
typically been held as a contest-within-a-contest coincident with the
IARU HF World Championship to
capitalize on the high activity of a popular world-wide operating event.

Groups interested in hosting WRTC 2026 should submit a Letter of Intent,
with a summary proposal no
later than March 31, 2023, to the Chairman of the WRTC Sanctioning
Committee, Tine Brajnik, S50A,
via email to tine.brajnik@gmail.com.

This concludes this week's bulletin. Does anyone require repeats or
clarifications?
Hearing none, This is V_3___ returning the frequency to net control.

Almost forgot about LARC's 40m NVIS test, didn't turn my rig on until 14:30.  I found Brian VE3KLT on 7270 kHz.  Still lots of folks checking in & giving signal reports.  I heard him at about 5-7, he said I was 5-9+
