FIELD DAY 2011. 
Again in 2011 VE2FET is #1 like in 2010 and 2009

VE2FET is FIRST in Canada in 1A Category and also FIRST in Quebec "all categories".  VE2FET is now 15 worldwide in 1A category, was 19th global 1A Field Day 2010 and 18th global in 2009 category. 

VIDEO: Fresh from the Archive VE2FET at Radio-Canada/CBC in 1978!
Back in 1978, VE2FET is invited at a TV show to demonstrate and talk about Amateur-Radio.  See VE2FET at Radio-Canada/CBC at the age of 13.

APRS
This map is live and shows where I'm (or was) last time when mobile on the APRS Amateur Radio Data Network.

*These digipeaters are WIDEn-n, QCn-n.  Please do not use RELAY or WIDE anymore .  QCn-n means, for example, you can digipeat QC3-3.  It does the same as WIDE3-3 but WITHOUT leaving the province of Quebec.  Same goes for QC2-2, QC2-1, etc…  Please have your digipeater configuration updated to support “State Wide” configuration, i.e. QC if yours is located in the province of Quebec.  MOBILE please use an APRS Path of "WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1" and FIXED stations please use "WIDE2-1" or “WIDE2-2” if out of city/far of digipeaters area. 

The use of RELAY and WIDE is over.  Please read the following page about the new N paradigm.  It includes configuration an more: Fixing the 144.39 APRS Network

About Sylvain Faust VE2FET
First licensed as a Canadian Amateur Radio Operator on July 13, 1977, at the age of 12, Sylvain has been operating under the same callsign ever since.  Lionel VE2DTV introduced Sylvain to the Amateur Radio 7 months earlier.

VE2FET was living in Montreal at the time and quickly became a member of the local club VE2UMS.  Among his other interests, the one for computers emerged in 1979.  Under the early guidance of Pierre, VE2BSI (now VE2ICI), he developed a fascination for programming, by first toying with microprocessor machine code and soon enough, 6502 assembler.

Within a few short years, Sylvain became a world-level specialist in transactional database design and the fine art of transaction performance tuning.  He's the creator of the product SQL-Programmer(r) (1992) among others and founder of Sylvain Faust Inc. (1988).  (SQL-Programmer(r), SQL-Optimizer(r), SQL-Sombrero(r) are now owned by BMC Software http://www.bmc.com since November 2000).

Sylvain was born in February 1965 in St-Hyacinthe, province of Quebec.  He later moved to Montreal at the age of 8.  Sylvain has been living in the Ottawa-Gatineau area (west of Montreal) between 1986 and 2007, with the exception of 2 years in Austin, Texas, and is now living in the Ste-Anne-Des-Lacs/St-Sauveur area (FN25wu) just north of Montreal.

Among his current "Amateur Radio" equipment, his shelves support top of the line ICOM IC-7800, IC-7000, IC-PW1, IC-703+, TH-D7, TH-F6, IC-V8000, IC-02AT, MFJ-259B, MFJ-989D, MFJ-904H, KPC-3 Plus, etc...  No more Marconi 52 (52, first receiver for Sylvain where he praticed decoding CW few months before going for his license exam in 1977), 19 Mk III, Heathkit HW-16, Heathkit DX-60, Johnson Viking Mk1, or Teletype (RTTY) Model 19,28,33 and many more...

Sylvain is also http://www.eQSL.cc Certified and ARRL/LoTW Certified and uses incoming/outgoing Quebec QSL Bureau as well.  He replies Direct to all QSL received Direct.

Canadian Special Prefix info http://www.indicatif.ca

Sylvain also operates a wide APRS digipeater as VE2FET-1 from his QTH, supporting the most recent WIDEn-n, QCn-n protocol.  He also manages the configuration for the following digipeaters, VA2REH-3, VE2REG-3 and VE2REH-3.

Do not hesitate to send email if you have questions. ve2fet@arrl.net

PS: Please register to http://www.eQSL.cc (it’s FREE!) and also the ARRL LoTW (Logbook Of The World).  Just more ways to get different awards in addition to real QSL cards.  I do them all.

73!  Sylvain VE2FET (ve2fet@arrl.net)
