Comments:
Well, I tried to follow Chad's instructions, I really did. Pointed the antennas
at Europe, called CQ, nothing happened :-) If you had told me before the
contest that I would have more EU contacts on 80 than on 15, I would have
laughed at you. Only 14 EU contacts on 10 and 15 combined! Turns out there is
a time to go to Nova Scotia, and there is a time to go to Aruba - and this
weekend was one to go to Aruba! The aurora may be pretty, but it plays havoc
with radio.
