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
