VE7MHISO LOW ALLA fab time. Tnx all for the digging me out of the noise of pile up. Had a fine time, out in the car with 100 W and HamSticks. Worked some new/unique countries. Even a revisit proved to be as exciting as the first time. I think I even heard a friend in WA state (W7), virtually next door, on 20 m Long Path. It was fun attempting to ride the QSB as it presented in audio form here. I found I spent a lot of time on 10 & 15 m. 73 All
VE7WNKSA HIGH ALLAmazing conditions, however I was unable to operate many hours
VE8MNSO HIGH 20MFirst time running 500W in CQ WW from Yellowknife (Zone 01). Aurora was dancing, bands were moody, but the rig held steady. 40 Meter Dipole 50 Feet, because why nottry to be under the ABSORBSION LAYER . . . MixW 4 behaved, mostly sometimes HI HI. Soapbox? More like FROZEN BOX. Thanks for the QSO 73!
VE8NSDSO LOW ALLDecade ago had to argue with a JA that VE8 even existed. Today had to argue with a Argentinian that VE8 is actually zone 1, not zone 4
VE9UNBMULTI-MULTIAt the University of New Brunswick, the operators were Chris, VE9CCX, Gregg, Kayla, VE9KBS, Megan, VY2MM, Morgan, VE1MNK, and me, the club sponsor, Brent, VE9EX. The current VE9UNB station antenna is a folded dipole above a metal roof, but more than usual, this site favours the higher frequency bands. However, since it is just beyond the peak of the 11-year solar cycle, 10 m and 15 m were well open. Some of the operators had recently obtained their Canadian certificates of proficiency and I thought it was great that a variety of DX entities could be heard. We had three memorable QSOs, Kaliningrad on 10 m, Japan on 15 m, and Romania on 10 m. Finally, we appreciate the help from the Maritime Contest Club, 73, Brent Petersen, VE9EX, VE9UNB

VK8HPBSO LOW ALLBands were open 10m and 15m worked as much as I could before family matters called. Rotator didn't work so... I'll be back next yar with a rotating rotator
VL3ESO HIGH ALLInteresting to see so many stations saying the conditions were terrific, including some of the VK4s and VK2s. Well, that was certainly not the case in VK3. Conditions were very much less than ideal. I remember in the late 80s early 90s and again in the early 2000s when 10m would be full of Ws and JAs for hours, with S9plus signals. The only S9 signals I heard on 10m was N2IC and JA3YBK. I used to be able to work 1300 QSOs with a smaller beam and a smaller amp. The 450 odd QSOs for this test were a real challenge. A big rainstorm hit on Saturday night and filled the beam with water. The back up dipole was the only option left. The usual LP Ws on 20m at 2200z were weak, nothing really went well, only TO2K for a new DXCC on 40m was a highlight, and a ZS calling me at a really weird hour. It is always great to work africa from here. Other than that, a bunch of KL7s on 10m which was pretty nice and some loud South Americans on 15m. I did not work zone 5 on 15m... that is how poor conditions were down here. Hopefully the CW event will be better and I shall try to change to a better yagi for it
VL6KSA HIGH ALLConditions were OK. Noisy on 15m. My antenna is my weak link. (80m OCF dipole @ 15m) I need to get my yagi up
