Comments:
As usual I operated on my way to the Clarkson University hockey game in Potsdam
NY, with the game at 7:30 I only had a few hours to operate. Potsdam is in the
most northern part of NY, only 30 miles more and you’re in Canada !
I did pretty well running an FT-817 QRP with 40m and 20m hamsticks. I operated
from Onondaga (9 Qs), Oswego (7 Qs), Jefferson (36 Qs), Lewis (26 Qs) and St.
Lawrence (16 Qs) counties. All total it was about 320 miles to Potsdam NY and
back with the side trip to Lewis County.
The ride back home on route 11 from Northern NY is one of the darkest and
loneliest trips you can have. There is not much to see on route 11 and it is
really dark between the small towns. I left Potsdam at 11PM and got back home
about 1:45AM with a pit stop at my favorite Nice & Easy in Pamelia.
Last year there weren’t too many QSOs from Jefferson and Lewis counties so I
planned a bit of extra time in those counties. Thanks everyone for pulling out
the 5 Watts, and thanks to WA2VYA with 6 contacts and N4PN with 5.
