Since around August 2009, our two-meter repeater has been plagued by QRM caused by a third-order intermodulation product originating from a trunk radio site 3.5 km SSW from our repeater site. The iDA is helping us to resolve the situation.

19 Mar 2009 9V1RH SK

David Rankin, 9V1RH, passed away this morning at age 74. He leaves behind his XYL Adeline and his two children, Sheila and Edward. 

Anyone who ever had a QSO with him would remember his engaging conversations and friendly manner. He was an incredibly knowledgeable Ham who was dedicated to Amateur Radio. He was also an amazingly genuine and warm human being, always there to lend a listening ear. His departure means a great loss to SARTS and also to the worldwide Amateur Radio fraternity.
