[RSM] Fwd: Fw: RAC Day VE3CX SOAB HP

[Tom Haavisto]

What a rush to hear 10 meters open!

A few good stories:

I forgot to tell Vlado - VE3KRV to get on and work me, so I was in a bit of
a panic.  Needed VE3 on a bunch of places.
Bill - XT helped me out on CW on all bands - thanks Bill.  VE3EJ showed up
on 10 CW, so I got to move him to SSB.


I needed VE3 on 160 meters SSB, and I worked a local - VE3RVA on 15.  Asked
him "Can you do 160?"
"No antenna".  Crap!  So - a few minutes later, he calls me back, and says
"I rigged something up.  Care to try?"
YES!  Worked like a charm, and in the log he went.

Needed VE1 on 40 SSB, so I worked VE1OU on 20.  "Can you do 40 SSB?"
"Don't have much of an antenna"  I said "Don't worry about it.  I will
swing the beam around, and in the log he went.

Glad I got Ed - VE4RAC to move a bunch of times for the extra points and
the mult on a number of bands.

I also worked N6RO a bunch of times, and kept hearing these BIG numbers
coming back - a lot of the time he was ahead of me on QSO numbers.
In the end, looks like I squeaked past him.

Over night, things were a bit slow, but once the sun came up and the bands
came to life, I picked up the pace and away we went :-)


A few times - on 40 and 80, I am running, then there a HUG pileup, but they
are not calling me.  Took a minute or two to figure out they were calling
the KH1.
So - decided to run split, and two minutes later, he was in my person log
:-)  Then - back to the contest.  So - now have him on 3 bands :-)


What a blast!


Tom

Happy Canada Day, and I think the best surprise was that 10 meters gave us a
nice opening!

Thanks for the QSO's.
