  • Fire Prevention Week Special Event Highlights Fire Safety

    Fire Prevention Week Special Event Highlights Fire Safety

    Read More

    This year, Fire Prevention Week will be from Sunday October 4th through Saturday October 10th. In Ontario we will be using special event call sign VE3FIRE, operating as a Wild Card station, and in the US there will be stations using the call signs N0F through N9F along with KF2IRE, another Wild Card station. All twelve stations are working to highlight fire safety regarding the charging of lithium-ion batteries during Fire Prevention Week.

    This event is not a contest. As we make contact with hams worldwide, this is more of a public service event where we will be giving tips to our contacts about the possible hazards inherent in overcharging lithium-ion batteries and tips on how to use and charge these batteries safely.

    While this event is not a contest, a downloadable printed certificate will be available for those who work ten or more of the twelve stations. More about getting the certificate is available on the hamfire.com information site and QSL information is available on the VE3FIRE QRZ page.

  • Activate All RI POTA Event

    Activate All RI POTA Event

    Read More

    Activate All RI aims to get all 61 of Rhode Island POTA parks on the air September 11–13. Think of it as a POTA take on a state QSO party: get a bunch of us out operating and give everyone else a weekend of Rhode Island parks to chase. Activating every park in a state over one weekend is one of those things we can actually tackle because we’re so tiny. Might as well put that to good use!

    We start at 0600 EDT Friday September 11th and end 1800 EDT September 13th.

    For hunters, it’s a chance to fill in missing parks toward Worked All RI, or just chase a few of us from home or park-to-park. The website has an activation schedule, live RI spots, and a tool that lets hunters import their POTA hunted-parks history and get a schedule for just the parks they still need.
