Amateur Radio
Since the introduction of my first web site 17 years ago, many wonderful sites and services have become available serving the amateur radio community. As a result, I’ve scaled down my site considerably. My renewed focus is to offer complementary content .
The Canadian Amateur Radio Email Database Website is my latest contribution. With thousands of visitors per year, it provides amateurs with email addresses of Canadian amateur radio operators. Have you added or updated your email address lately? It contains over 3000 entries and is still growing!

Listen to my radio contact operating VE2DM with Russian Cosmonaut Alexander A. Volkov as U4MIR onboard the orbiting MIR Space Station in February 1992.
About VA6DM
I obtained my first Operator’s Certificate in 1978 and have operated under various callsigns including VE2FSA, VE2EK, VE2DM and VA6DM.
I’ve been active on HF CW/SSB and VHF/UHF FM and digital modes using modest radio and antenna installations. My main field of interest as always been public service and emergency communications. I organized my first event at 15 years of age.
I later became involved with the VE2RM club and occupied every position on the board of directors over the years and participated in the maintenance of the various repeater systems we operated atop Mount Rigaud, Québec.
I operated the first packet BBS system on 145.01 MHz in Montreal and participated in the initial growth of the network across the province. This would spark an interest in the internet and the design of web pages and the development of the email database I currently maintain.
Established in Calgary, Alberta for over a decade, my presence on the airwaves has been sparse due to antenna limitations and newfound interests.
