Comments: Thanks to VE3SRE for mothering this contest along. We don't have
the QSO totals of Helvetia or FQP but we're getting closer! This was my
first real venture into the contest. The last couple of years I made a
desultory 50 or so Q's. I'm glad that conditions were fair to good for a
change and I'm glad to have stuck it out for over 22 hours! I had a
couple of unreal pile-up situations into Europe on 20 and 40 SSB, a number
of VE3 6 band Q's (not with my own county though!) and some unusual Q's
like Utah on 160SSB - K7CA, ZD9BV on 20 SSB, and Rainy River District QRP
on 80 and 40 CW - VE3FAL. RAI is about as far from here as North Dakota.
Bless the Beverages! It was a relatively noisy weekend and they made a big
difference on 160/80/40.
Unlike my usual practice of running TRLog in DOS, I ran 4 separate programs
under Windows 3.1 and merged the files after the contest. Moved from one to
the other using CTRL-ESC. It hung up a few times necessitating restarting
a particular contest but generally was great over the long run, bringing in
8 multipliers and 89 Q's from those other contests.
See you from the next Ontario QSO Party and of course watch out for all of
us
on July the First, Canada Day.
