Thanks again to Paul VE3SY and Marg VE3RE for letting me use Paulâ??s great
station near Kitchiner, Ontario.
It was my first NAQP from Paulâ??s, usually I operate NAQP from home. What a
difference! The bands were unbelievably quiet as compared to my small city lot
QTH. Relatively big number of separate antennas allowed almost unlimited
selection of band/antennas on each radio.
15 m was hot at the beginning for about 2 hours. Combined with 20 it gave me a
great 1st hour of 139/hr. instead of usual 90-100/hr.! 10 m was alive too, I
just wish a bit more guys would check in there.
40 m was great all the time, I believe mainly because of the new 2 el. 40 m
Yagi we put up at 73 â?? just a couple of months ago. I had an opportunity to
compare it with a dipole at about the same height and all the W6/W7 that I
have copied solidly on Yagi were becoming almost non-audible when switched to a
dipole. Sorry I had to give up on quite a few callers on 40, 80 and 160 because
of strong static crashes.
I made only one 30 min. break just after 22:00 UTC and finished early. I think
I did the right thing.
Thanks to all who agreed to move for me â?? VE4YU, K8JQ, VE2XAA, VE9DX, VA3NR,
W4OC, K8MR, W5KK, KO7X, K7BG, N4AF, W1EQ, W5VY, W3MC, N3DXX and others.
Thanks for all the Qâ??s. It was great fun.
73 Yuri
