Draft Agenda

• Welcome, updates (Roger, VA3EGY)
• Craig Delmage, VE3OP, will deliver a distinctive presentation titled “Amateur Radio in Creative, Performing and Media Arts in Canada.” His talk explores how radio fosters artistic expression, collaboration, and education.
  His presentation highlights two national productions from 2025 in which Craig and several other local amateurs played quiet, supporting yet essential roles. It traces the historical context behind these projects. It follows each team’s journey as they worked to showcase shortwave listening and Amateur Radio for the enjoyment and learning of audiences nationwide. One was meant to spark the imagination of Canadians to become our future new amateurs. Craig will also discuss the operational and technical challenges the teams encountered along the way—and how they persevered to overcome them. Come, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show!
• Other agenda items TBD
