The Canada Hub was inspired by many predecessors who deserve credit for blazing innovative new trails in amateur radio networking: The Inter-Provincial Amateur Radio Network or “IPARN” (with much credit to Bill VE7CQ [SK in 2023]), IRLP (with much credit to Dave VE7LTD), Echolink, and more.

We owe much to these pioneers.

Thank you to Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) for publishing articles and news from time to time about The Canada Hub in The Canadian Amateur (TCA) – Canada’s National Amateur Radio magazine. Articles from Sep 2020 and Jul-Aug 2023 are reprinted below with their kind permission.

As for “History” – we all have the ability to create it. Experiment… try new modes, new frequencies, build an antenna using your rain gutters and a stapler, activate a new grid, activate an IOTA, climb to a new SOTA, make history!
