Comments:
This was certainly the best 160M contest I have ever experienced. Conditions on
Friday evening, Saturday morning and at sunset on Saturday afternoon were
excellent. The Saturday sunset opening was certainly the best opening to Europe
I have heard out here in Alberta where Europeans are a rarity on 160M. After the
fantastic sunset opening, Saturday night and Sunday morning were not as good as
the previous day. Worked all states. Never heard VO2, VY1, VY0 and VE8. Was
sure glad when VE4EAR called on Sunday. Equipment at Don's was an IC-7800 and
Emtron linear. The main transmitting and receiving antenna was a very high
dipole. We also had a 160M vertical that seemed to work better only on a couple
of paths. An array of receiving antennas including beverages were only used
intermittently as the dipole seemed to hear very well in all directions. As
always Don was a great host making sure I had coffee and food as required.
