Comments:
After many years operating from the home qth and suffering a worsening local
noise level, and now at the bottom of the sunspot cycle, the operation took
place from the qth of VE7UF. A contest station with multiple stacked yagis on
150ft and 175ft rotatable towers, plus slopers for 80m. Unfortunately a local
grow op is now generating a high 80m noise so a non-directionable beverage is
used for receiving.
We did find that a JA contest on 80m was a real problem in the early hours when
looking for VK/ZL. Similarly after sunset the QCWA contest became a problem on
40m. Then the Tesla contest plus Idaho QSO party.
All in all the three operators had a ball. Let's hope for better propagation
next year!
