VE3FCQVolume 1, Edition 3
Release Date: 2023-07-18
In contrast to the last couple of months, this week has been pretty busy in the hobby for me. From antennas to Nets to YOTA, ARISS and pico balloons there have been some firsts and some review of previous experiences.
Here are some of the highlights for this weeks Shack Notes.
Volumen 1, Edition 2
Release Date: 2023-07-12
Welcome to Shack Notes, a category of blog posts here at the VE3FCQ Ham Shack. These Shack Notes are my way of documenting and sharing a historical record of my progress in the amateur radio hobby since first being licensed in 2020. The intended audiences include both the [New Hams Ottawa Net](http://newhamsottawa.ca/New Hams Ottawa Net) community as well as the broader amateur radio community.
The notes will be fairly terse and typically point form. For those in the agile progject management space you may recognize the format, as it mimics the “5 questions of scrum“.
Check out previous editions through the Shack Notes category.

Welcome to Shack Notes, a new category of blog posts here at the VE3FCQ Ham Shack.
Every Tuesday Evening, the New Hams Ottawa Net hosts a round table style net for new, returning and evolving amateur radio operators. The first round of the net is usually an open ended round where those checking into the net can share what they have been working on.
These “Shack Notes” are my way of starting to document and share my progress in the amateur radio hobby. The target audience includes the New Hams Ottawa community and the broader amateur radio community. These notes are also a historical record for me to circle back on things I started to explore and might have dropped or got stuck. Check out previous issues through the Shack Notes category.
