VE2DXYMULTI-TWOBest contest in years from Zone 2. We doubled our score from previous years. Band conditions were the best we have seen with a better than predicted 10 Meters. Even the weather cooperated with good conditions for set up and take down

VE3AAQSO HIGH 15MNow this is what a sunspot peak should sound like!
VE3BRSO LOW ALLA truly bizarre experience! I managed to (just barely) improve my SSB personal best, but have been disoriented all along. I know that there will be statements made about good conditions, but in my opinion, they were not "good"; they were straight out of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Those heard were heard well, but nearly always I could not make it through to a running DX (even with no pile-up) while hearing other "locals" just "walk-in" and make a QSO on the proverbial "first call". On the other hand, few QSOs, usually difficult for me, were extremely quick and painless. The problem? "Easy" ones were an infinitesimal minority. I almost gave up after first 24 hours. No wonder that I took it easy the second night with a full "beauty sleep". (Hold your comments: I know that in my case it ain't gonna help.)
VE3BVASO LOW ALLA bit of a challenge with wire antennae and 100 watts, but fun none the less
VE3DCMULTI-MULTIVISITORS: VE3KTP VE3RYI & Georgette, Scott's friend. Another great DX contest that the group had fun on again this year. We had some problems with coax, rain and mud this year, but the group came shining through. We surpased our score from last year with more Zones and Countries worked. A fun contest. One of the guys kept working rare ones and kept asking where he had worked. 73 Rick VE3BK

VE9UNBMULTI-ONEThe call sign VE9UNB is held by Richard Tervo, VE1BMR, who did not participate as an operator in this contest. The licensed participants in this contest were Gleb Egorov, VE9EG, and myself, Brent Petersen, VE9EX. Under my direct supervision, the unlicensed participants in this contest were Sameh Elnaggar, Fred Goora and Tristan Losier, who recently passed, with HF privileges, their amateur radio examinations. Friday evening, Fred and I made a few QSOs. After failing to contact a rare DX station, for about ten minutes, we heard Rick, VE9HF, just across the Saint John River from VE9UNB, get through. I figured the rare DX wouldn't be able to hear me and I made the error of trying to get a contact with Rick, on the DX's frequency. Rick knew the DX would hear him; he politely followed the DX Code of Conduct and ignored me. Saturday morning, all five of us were present. One of the participants made a trivial operator error. I mentioned that was nothing compared to the error that I made on Friday evening while I was suppose to be demonstrating good operating procedures. A short while later we heard Rick calling CQ. I said that was the same guy from Friday evening. I went for the microphone and answered his CQ. He said: "Hi." I said: "Thanks." We logged the QSO and the five of us burst into laughter
VK2EZFSO LOW 10MHR2600 with 20W PEP into a vertical half wave dipole in a tree at 7m
VK2FJSO HIGH ALLconfirming contacts. Regards John
VK2LEESO LOW ALLActual TX Power: 80 watts PEP The recorded CQ CONTEST with CALLSIGN is very often A very poor recording with the audio very difficult to understand with the first Letter or Number extremely difficult to hear. AS Radios have More than one memory its a good idea to use more than one recording of Your callsign using different phonetics and alternate the calls. VK2LEE
VK2TTPSO HIGH ALLGreat action on Ten Metres
VK2WLSSO LOW 40MActual TX Power: 80
