Welcome to VA3DBJ.ca. Located in Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada
Back in 1994, I ran the SpaceLodge BBS, during the good old Fido BBS days. Then in 2000, I was on the internet running SpaceLodge/ScannerDesk.com and now VA3DBJ.ca. I was pretty heavy into space communications and the shuttle flights, back then and now, you can add amateur radio.
Amateur Radio (ham radio) is a popular hobby and service that brings people, electronics and communication together. People use ham radio to talk across town, around the world, or even into space, all without the Internet or cell phones. It’s fun, social, educational, and can be a lifeline during times of need. Amateur Radio operators come from all walks of life — doctors, students, kids, politicians, truck drivers, movie stars, missionaries and even your average neighbor next door. They are of all ages, sexes, income levels and nationalities. Whether through Morse Code on an old brass telegraph key, voice communication on a hand-held radio or computerized messages transmitted via satellite, all hams use radio to reach out to the world.

Effective Aug 11th, I will no longer be on Facebook, so I’ll not be available via Facebook Messenger. I’ll be only available via the Google Hangouts (va3dbj@gmail.com) and Skype (va3dbj@live.ca).
