After broadcasting from and being pampered for 20 summers by the Anchor Inn, I’m moving. The wonderful old barber shop room was taken by a new barber, and the only remaining area came with a number of challenges.
My wonderfully supportive town administration stepped in and I’m pleased to report the Cruisers Net will continue to broadcast. This summer from a room on the second floor of the Municipal building.
Yesterday, Gary Holtze of M/V SloM’Ocean, my wife Margaret and I brought the VHF equipment, folding chairs and a bag of burgees to the room.
Bruce R O'Hare organized a crew to take down the tower antenna from the Anchor. The antenna was given to the town and the tower went to the landfill.
Manitoulin Amateur Radio Club(MARDC) donated a 250 foot coil of top quality COAX.
Reid Taylor, Manager of Community Services and Allan Boyd
President of MARC will work on the installation of the antenna. Unfortunately there is a 6 week waiting period for the tripod base for the antenna and they will have to work some temporary magic.
Hopefully, all will be ready for the Net to greet you on July 1. I’m looking forward to boaters attending in person, checking in on VHF or via ZOOM or like M/V Schatz Sea via text from Lake Superior.
I thank Bruce and Kelly O'Hare, Rob Norris,Denise Lytle and
Chris Callaghan for being outstanding generous, supportive and encouraging hosts these many years. By the way, Denise and her staff at the Anchor will continue to host the Friday afternoon Cruisers Net Happy Hour.
