Tnx to VA6DX, VA6MA, VE6BF and VE6JTM for supplying radios and other
boxes... Mitch's brand new ICOM 756ProII arrived at 0001 utc (in the box, just
as it arrived a few hours earlier from ICOM) and was producing 20m QSO's at 0009
utc! Talk about a 24 hour burn in period!
For those trying to connect the voice they worked to a callsign:
The yl voices were either Janet VE6DYB or Amity VE6MIA
The "loud" voice was Mitch VE6JTM
The "new" voices were either Gern VE6HGS or Ben VA6BEN, both in their first
contest. Not their last.
The "good" CW emissions were all made by Bill VE6BF
And being short staffed at various times, I even operated and made a lot
more QSO's than normal, especially in the middle of the night.
We haven't run a m/m operation for some time, so many of usual s/op or
s/band ops weren't here so it could be viewed as a training or re-training
exercise for a lot of the operators. We had a 6 HF station plus 2m setup
with 7 computers and linked and using TRLog - as usual, it ran smoothly and
the link stayed up 100% of the time. Bill VE6BF did all of the CW barefoot
and using the remotely located antennas so he could move around without any
regard as to the SSB stations. Built up some more antenna relay interface
boards (Tnx to VE6JKB for producing the pc boards) for the ICOM radios so
all antenna selection was totally automatic for all multiband operating
positions.

Well, conditions were generally dreadful on the low bands and only mediocre
on the high bands. Roughly 1150 VE calls (28 RAC's), 1250 USA. Virtually
no Europe late night as in other years. Our multi/multi score
this year was essentially the same score we made last year as a
multi/single. Mother Nature has not been kind this season. No short skip
on 10 - saw spots of Yukon and Manitoba and heard the pileups but not even a
trace of the source... Even though the power company was out last Friday
and replaced a transformer and some other hardware, we still had a fair bit
of noise, especially to the east. Although I think we generally heard better
on the low bands than we could be heard - certainly called quite a few VE3's
on 40 and 80 that didn't hear us. The joys of one way propagation from north
of 53 degrees. But did work OH2BH on 80m long path!
