Comments:
I had really wanted to work this one and test out the new 160M vertical with the
elevated , but (the big but), I had to run down to Niagara Falls for help with
some timing issues for Red Bull Crashed Ice. So, that took out Friday night.
Saturday, on the drive back, I had to make 1 stop (John - EJ, Larry says hi)
and a trip to Larry's hanger to check out a few planes. John, what is the new
tower to the East past the 4 Square? 80M vertical?
Saturday night was absorbed by the XYL's office Christmas party and by the time
I got home at midnight, I couldn't keep my eyes open (only 3 hours sleep the
night before).
That resulted in my sleeping (in) till 6:30 when I jumped on with the remote
base from Ontario East. Not sure who else was on from ONE, but I did work
VE3FU also in ONE.
I still managed 71 q's and 33 sections. The vertical worked great (put in
place with the flying quad copter). I found the band pretty quiet and never
really needed the K9AY.
73 all, Mike va3mw
