====== Donate to CVARS ======

The [[http://www.cvars.com/index.html |Cowichan Valley Amateur Radio Society]] is still in need of donations in order to upgrade the batteries and the power system for the [[nets:home#island_trunk_system|VE7AQW]] repeaters on Mount Brenton.  These repeaters have a huge footprint and when they went off last time, quite a big chunk of Vancouver Island and parts of the mainland went quiet.

They have set up a [[https://gofund.me/48b1a829 |gofundme page]].

You can also see their [[https://aprs.fi/telemetry/?call=VE7RNA-10 |battery telemetry]], which is quite interesting.
