[RSM] VE3RUA CW SS Result

[Jack]

Not too bad. Noted a bit of MB activity with at least four stations 
either worked, heard or spotted. VE4GV and VE4JBB come to mind. Thanks 
to Rich, VE3KI, operating as VE4AEO, for the mult on 80.

I was concerned about a few mults as we got later into the SS. North 
Dakota was worrisome but I went to 40 pretty early on Sunday and found 
the band excellent to close-in mults. K0IDX had a huge signal and was 
worked easily.

The log has been submitted for Radiosport Manitoba.

Shelley and I are not really looking forward to the SSB SS but we will 
put in at least 5 or 6 hours apiece.

73,

Jack, VE3RUA/W6NF
