Comments: It took 7 hours by boat to get to the island and we operated from
'very rustic' clam shacks. The bugs were terrible and the howling from the
wolves kept us awake all night. VE7QCR was afraid to fuel the gensets in the
dark because the first morning when he went down the trail, 2 big wolves
stared him down. During the contest band conditions were not spectacular.
20m shut down in the afternoon and 15m never opened up to Asia at all. The
biggest surprise was a 1 hour opening to Europe on 15m at around 0300utc.
That was probably the biggest pileup (of our own) we heard during the
contest. It was an exhausting effort and all I seem to remember was
packing/unpacking gear and loading/unloading the boat. Dundas Island is a
beautiful spot (no facilities) but we were all too busy to wander more than
100 yards from our clam shack.
I declare that this station was operated strictly in accordance with
the rules and spirit of the contest and within the conditions of my
licence. My report is correct and true to the best of my knowledge.
I agree that the decision of the contest organisers shall be final
in all cases of dispute. I agree to the data from this entry being
analysed and cross-checked by computer.
