=== Repeaters (Hope and Whistler) ===


The Vancouver/Victoria/Seattle area has far too many repeaters to list here.
A useful list of BC repeaters in the Lower Mainland can be found at https://bcarcc.org/vancouver.pdf.
A useful list of BC repeaters on Vancouver Island can be found at https://bcarcc.org/vanisland.pdf
A useful list of WA repeaters, many of which cover the Lower Mainland, can be found at https://www.wwara.org/coordinations.
This is a select list of repeaters which have coverage when leaving the Lower Mainland in Hope, and in the Whistler Corridor (Highway 99 North).

(Note 1) The Maritime Mobile Service Net on 14.300 primarily assists those at sea, out of range of VHF communications. It is included here because the frequency has been designated by the IARU as a "Global Emergency Center of Activity".

In 1991, the USSR is falling apart and Cuba enters its hardest economic crisis. Sergio, a professor of Marxism who can't provide for his family, and Sergei, a Soviet cosmonaut stranded in the Mir space station, share a common passion: amateur radio. Through this hobby, both men will be able to help each other in facing the dramatic changes of their countries.

Through this hobby, both men will be able to help each other in facing the dramatic changes of their countries.
Although the movie is fictional, it is based on a real story, where the real Sergei Krikalev depended upon Margaret Iaquinto, in Ballat, Victoria, Australia for over a year to get timely updates from home during the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Most of these sites do not indicate how old the information they contain is.

For a historical view (1994) of worldwide activity see: http://www.redwaveradio.com/7_efea669593afab61_1.htm Some of these repeaters may still be active.

Other Nets heard in the Okanagan Valley

This is a selected list of nets audible in the Okanagan Valley area. This is a rough worklist of nets which are not currently (and may never be) listed on the main club webpage. Some may only be heard seasonally due to propagation changes through the year. Times may differ up to one hour earlier or later depending upon seasonal variations.

All local days and times are for the Pacific Time Zone. Information marked with a "?" has not been fully validated.

The Story of Sergei Krikalev U5MIR

Sergio And Sergei - a 2017 fictional movie based on actual events (IMDB summary)

In 1991, the USSR is falling apart and Cuba enters its hardest economic crisis. Sergio, a professor of Marxism who can't provide for his family, and Sergei, a Soviet cosmonaut stranded in the Mir space station, share a common passion: amateur radio. Through this hobby, both men will be able to help each other in facing the dramatic changes of their countries.

Although the movie is fictional, it is based on a real story, where the real Sergei Krikalev depended upon Margaret Iaquinto, in Ballat, Victoria, Australia for over a year to get timely updates from home during the collapse of the Soviet Union.
