Grant Butcher, VA3KJI - November, 2004

Grant, a maintenance supervisor at the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, gave a very informative presentation on how our local plant produces energy.

Bill Buchanan, VA3WTB - September 04

Bill was fortunate enough to be on vacation in Florida recently when a hurricane blew through.  Bill recounted his experiences from both an amateur and visitor point of view.  We are glad that no harm came to Bill or his family.  Bill is a member of the South Pickering ARC.

Mike Maclean, VE3VCY - February, 2003

North Shore ARC's very own Mike Maclean demonstrated the do's and don'ts of tower climbing including the proper use of related safety equipment.  As long as the tower is correctly installed Mike is not afraid to climb.   Mike has even been known to scale those large, several hundred foot, towers that you see dotting the horizon so our 40 and 50 foot towers are a piece of cake for him.

Winston Seeney, VE3WFS - September, 2002

Winston entertained us with his usual, uniquely Winston, humour.  Winston was a member of the NSARC for many years before retiring and turning his summer cottage into his retirement palace.  Winston has quite a long list of accomplishments in amateur radio including several DXpeditions, setting up unique operating stations while on vacations, an accomplished writer having been published in several of the big name ham magazines, as well as proudly gaining the "worked all neighbors" award.  Recently, Winston added another accomplishment to that list when he was asked to be the keynote speaker at that national RAC Convention in BC.

Thank you, Winston, for doing your part in making our hobby as entertaining as it is.
 

Tom Domonkos, VE3FCK, was our guest speaker at our May 2002 meeting.  Tom gave a great presentation on Reginald Fessenden the inventor of wireless voice communications.  Tom also had a presentation on the COBRA (Canadian Operators Bringing Regional Assistance) club emergency trailer.  Thanks Tom!
 

Mike Sherba, VE3DKW, brought in his collection of steam engines that he has build over the years for our June meeting.  Everyone was fascinated by Mikes presentation and proved to be a most enjoyable meeting.
