1651 Q's, 66 countries, 59 states/provinces (no VE8, VO2, PEI)
882,500 claimed score.
Ran QRP to avoid QRM with WA0QII/KP2 at the same site; he
was QRP, SO, SSB only. It didn't totally work; we missed a few
weak ones. Missed many mults that we heard but couldn't hear
us. But when we could hold a frequency; it sure was fun!
Used FT100 modified for transverters, less than 5w; a 3el
yagi at 25' overlooking a cliff to the N/NE and also south; and
a big wire "vee" with 50 deg apex angle and 100' elements tossed
over trees (height about 40' or higher) pointed NNW (worked
good, JA's louder than beam by 2 or more s-units). Site was
Ajax Mountain on St. John, about 800' ASL. We'd go back!
