We were supposed to be at the Point Amour Lighthouse in Labrador as VO2AC again,
but travel restrictions prevented us from going.  Hopefully next year!  (That's
what we said last year!)

After operating from the Point Amour Lighthouse in 2019 and 2020, it was
difficult to see to all the EU spotted that we couldn't hear let alone work. 
Even high up in the band, with no QRM, there wasn't a trace on the Flex-6600 for
most of them.

We only worked 90 10 pointers (~8% of our QSOs), compared to 818 10 pointers
(~49.6% of our QSOs) as VO2AC in 2020.  5.2pts/QSO as VE3FU vs 7.35pts/QSO as
VO2AC in 2020.

Lots of other DX left on the table that we heard but couldn't work, such as
4X2M, LU8DPM, and ZM4T.

First time using and setting up the Flex-6600 for a multi-op.  I was impressed
with how easy it was and how great it worked.

Thanks for all the QSOs and congratulations to all the top scorers.


73,

Chris VE3FU (VO2AC) and Dave VE3KG (ex VE9CB)
