It's shaping up to be a great weekend! The Camp 807 committee hopes that you can include our region's annual Ham Radio gathering in your summer plans.






CAMP 807 2004 will take place the weekend of July 30th, 31st, and August 1st at Sioux Narrows Provincial Park and Campground.

The provincial park will be charging $20 per night for unpowered camp sites, and $24 per night for camp sites with services. Reservations are highly recommended and can be made by phoning the park at 1-807-226-5223 - ask for Bev or Brad. Please mention that the reservation is for Camp 807 - Lake of the Woods Amateur Radio Society and reservation name Bruce Romaniuk (pronounced ROME-a-nook).

The 145.170 MHz (-600) repeater in Sioux Narrows and the 147.030 MHz (-600) repeater in Kenora will be used as talk-in frequencies. These two repeaters are linked. Club members will be monitoring the repeaters in order to provide directions and assistance to those travelling to the event.

Friday July 30th will be for registration and socializing.

Saturday's supper will be steak and potatoes, with pot luck salads and desserts (supplied by volunteers). There will be a nominal per-person charge for the steak, payable at registration time. Please bring your own plate and utensils.
