[RSM] VE3RUA Field Day Result

[Jack Parker]

Like Art, K3KU, this was a test in anticipation of Canada Day.

The 102-foot G5RV was reinstalled after it was taken down by a wind storm a
couple of months ago. We hadn't been able to cross the border from
Minnesota until now. We placed it between two better trees that give more
height plus a better position for the antenna's major lobes on 20 and 15
toward Europe. The center of the antenna is at 45-feet and it performed
beautifully on all bands. 10-meters was especially surprising since the
band was barely open and I worked whatever I could hear even though the
signals never budged the S-meter. I was disappointed that more Qs weren't
made on 20 but the band was insanely crowded with many pileups heard that
were 6 or 8 deep!

One thing that struck me as humorous is the number of folks excited by
working the ONN "mult"! :>)

We're eagerly anticipating the start of Canada Day Tuesday evening. Shelley
(K0MKL) and I will operate as a Multi/Single and since we are OM/XYL the
concerns over social distancing are likely not an issue. We hope to work
many of you during the contest.
