Comments:

This was a great opportunity to operate from VE1JF's suberb station on the north
shore of Nova Scotia overlooking the Bay of Fundy.  Conditions proved to be
somewhat better than I had expected. 40 meters was really the money band, with
by far the highest points per hour rates, but I could only take 9 hours in total
on that band before the noise and QRM would drive me to the less productive but
far easier-on-the-ears 20 meters.  
   The station played superbly and I nearly always felt loud.  The only
disappointment was a paucity of JAs (only 24 in the whole contest), in part
caused by some noise problems on the top antenna during a JA opening on 20
Sunday morning.  
   Thanks to Jim, VE1JF, and Hannelore for allowing me to rummage around their
lovely house and FB station in NS while they were off on a family vacation (what
a trusting family!).  Jim has put together an outstanding station that it was a
privilege to operate.

   Rigs: FT1000MP, Alpha 87A, FT1000MP Mark V, Alpha 87A,

  73 and thanks for the contacts,
   Andy, AE6Y
