| VE3AAQ | SO HIGH 10M | 10m was great! I lost three hours of good running time to resolve an RFI complaint from a neighbour |
| VE3BR | SO LOW 80M | I was planning a solid SOAB LP effort with my new callsign. I ended up with a leisurely SOSB on what beforehand I considered my weakest band: 80 m (not counting 160 where I have no antenna at all). Contest started with things falling apart for upper bands, resulting in the operator peeved and gravelled beyond the point of "having fun". I could keep adding to aggravation or regroup for the second night and do 80 with no receiving antennas, "radially challenged" vertical and low power - all no good on lower bands. C'est la vie, c'est la guerre. After I reminded myself that I am not a "serious contester" and recalled my uncle's saying (he had one for everything): "if you don't have what you like, like what you have", I managed to get back into the "fun mode" and enjoy the contest. Thanks to everybody who made it into my log. To those who didn't: try harder next year :) |
| VE3DC | MULTI-MULTI | Band conditions were great. We tried Multi-multi this year and had a lot of fun with all the operators changing around radios and positions. We definitely had a lot of fun working all the DX stations. Thanks to all that worked us. 73 Rick VE3BK |
| VE3EDY | SO LOW 160M | Looking forward hopfully to a fifth straight Win using my (TABA) Mobile Screwdriver Antenna design used on the TOP BAND in this year's CQ-WW Contest. TABA - Tunable All Bands Antenna |
| VE3GFN | SO LOW ALL | CW CONTESTS ARE MORE FUN! |
| VE3IQ | SA HIGH ALL | It was great to see 10m solid with signals from one end of the band to the other. That should inspire a whole new generation of Dxers and provide them with memories for years to come of just how good 10m can be |
