Remarks: The Auroral event was pretty noticeable here with only SM2EKM being
far enough north to sneak under the curtain. The rest of Scandinavia had to
wait for the next day, as did the Russians except for a RN6 who was far
enough south to skirt the problem. It was interesting to operate in parallel
with the VE3EJ (MM) who is within line of site across lake Ontario. Came
close enough to their 15m score to feel I had done well. Lali, VA3RU, did
very well as the main 15m operator, and those 3 5el stacked beams, passing
mult's, packet, and relief operators were stiff competition!
Historical note. It was 20 years ago in 1978 that VE3KZ won the SSB MM
category for Canada, a record that lasted for 10 years. One of the 20 metre
operators was VE3AKG now better known as VE3EJ. I also notice that my first
CQWWDX award was from 1955 (VE3BHS then). Time flies.
