A big THANK YOU as we have hit 100 followers on Twitter! Great to see so many active hams and clubs on here. Although our favourite place to chat is on the air, this is also a great way to connect and reach the community.

Enjoy the holidays and best wishes for the new year!

@vo1pwf I do see a FB post asking about a Craig from here staying at the FY hotel, though. They didn't get any final info about its condition.

SONRA President Andrew Green spoke with CBC about our activity during the recent cell phone outage. https://t.co/rAscwOfSoL

[SONRA @SONRA_NFLD]

@Kbkibbe That is definitely a void in coverage!

[SONRA @SONRA_NFLD]

Bell phone outage persists. Ham radio operators are active and standing by to relay any emergency communications.
