A New Canada-wide Ham Radio Swap Shop!

Radio Amateur Swap Canada is a new coast to coast Canadian classified ad site just for Ham Radio gear. Think of it like Craigslist or Kijiji without the used cars and old refrigerators.
A one stop shop to list your For Sale or Wanted items. Accounts are FREE and the classified ad's are FREE to post. Access is limited to Canadian Amateurs (via their callsign at registration).
Shop without having to ship across international borders (no customs and duty fees) and all items are listed in Canadian dollars.

Did you know?....Antenna Analyzer


The Club has an MFJ Model 259B antenna analyzer that is available to any member to borrow.

This analyzer takes the guesswork out of building you own antennas and is quite easy to use.

I especially like the fact that you can see where your antenna is resonant, making adjustment easier.

There is a power adapter or you can use batteries to power the unit, making it possible to take readings outside right at the antenna...saves a lot of steps!

To borrow the analyzer for your next antenna project, just use the contact form on the right.

Click here for a copy of the full manual on the MFJ259B.
