Operator List:  VE6SV, VE6WQ, VO1CV


Whow......stable band conditions for 48 hours.......note we are at 53 deg North latidude.  The workhorse
band of course was 20M. Even 40M surprised us with a super run opening to JA. A local midnite 20M run
netted us 40 plus Russian prefixes in hour and half.  At this time in the sunspot cycle 15M was open only on a limited north - south path for couple hours at mid afternoon local time.

All in all we had a great time......Sunday afternoon running  was exciting with HS50A, BV4, A41 and few others stopping by to give us some very needed more prefixes

We thank all stations who contacted us in the WPX.......see on the bands during next contest.

73.......Gord VE5SV   Joel VE6WQ   Max VO1CV
