      Many thanks to Allan, VE7SZ, for the use of his station and
antennas.

      Condx were pretty good here in British Columbia; not fantastic,
though.  The only mishap was the loss of the 80M yagi about 8 hours into
the contest; the SWR suddenly went to 8 to 1, and there was also very
little pattern when turning.  Unfortunately, the yagi is the only 80M
antenna in the air, so Qs and mults were not easy after that!  (I found
the 160M delta loop to work best.)

      Thanks to all for the contacts!

73,

Gary  VA7RR
