Took me a while to get the SO2R technique down, but I really like the N1MM program. See you all in the NAQP in a few weeks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K0XP Class: SO CW LP Total Score = 20,664 Limited time, much lower score than in the summer shindig and never even tried the high bands as had too much going on during daylight hours. Thanks to all the VA/VE/VYs for the 10/20 pt Qs; only found several RAC callsigns. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K1BX Class: SO Mixed LP Total Score = 308,070 Everything was going great until the power went out at 9 AM Saturday morning. Lost aboot 2 hours and a shot at 1000 QSOs. It helped me realize how lucky I have been for the last several contests with no major problems. This is a great contest for Low Power and SO2R practice. Activity is very good from VE. Worked VY1RAC and VE8RAC. I have only one suggestion - a plea for VE's to operate above 7.125 or operate more 40m split :-{ I heard 6 mults in the 40m VE phone band that I could not work. I had 6m hooked up and it was open to the south, but no QSOs. Moved W9IU to 10&15 CW&SSB for E skip QSOs at 1AM. That was more fun that just CQ'n on 80m. 73 and HNY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K1ZZI Class: SO CW HP Total Score = 160,474 Sorry to all the EU stations I couldn't pull out.

Nice to point the beam up North and work many of our VE friends. I didn't realize that this was an everyone-work-everyone contest until I was called by a string of southern EU stations. Seemed like good activity the short time that I was on. 73 & HNY -Kirk K4RO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K6CSL Class: SO CW LP Total Score = 1,360 Very poor conditions here with severe noise problems on 40 and 80.

Lots of fun searching and pouncing 20-Meters on a Saturday afternoon. Good practice and I ran 35-watts into an inverted-v at 30-feet and pleasantly surprised. My first-ever RAC Winter Contest from the west coast. Best results to everyone and Happy New Year. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: KD2MX Class: SO CW QRP Total Score = 11,920 Conditions were awful on 80/40m for the first few hours here...another case of the rf dead zone which has been observed during some of the NAQCC sprints. 160M was the evening's bright spot and 80M livened up after 0400 until I got tired. Enjoyed some hours Saturday afternoon...even had a few Qs on 15M and I beat my last score...which is always a good thing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: KU8E Class: SO CW HP Total Score = 9,576 What a surpise to have VE8GEZ call me on 40 CW from NWT @ 1445 Z.

Bands sounded pretty good, particularly the low bands. Somewhat time constrained here - operating was part of an amp repair project. This is always a fun contest - a time to slow down a little and wish old frineds a HNY. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: N4PN Class: SO Mixed HP Total Score = 416,070 Missed the first two hours as was late getting home. Nice activity and 10 meters opened again which was a pleasant surprise. Fifteen was not good but all the other bands kept things humming. Had planned to stop at 0000 UTC and operate the Stew Perry but still lots of stations to work so kept going... Thanks for all the calls and the sponsor/committee for the RAC. 73, Paul, N4PN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: N6CCH Class: M/S HP Total Score = 47,664 Conditions seemed to be good for this contest given the time of year and sunspot numbers. Worked 15m for a while and received good signal reports from CA and US stations that I worked. Did not S&P, just CQ'd, as many of the packet spots seemed to be in the portions of the bands that General class privs are not allowed in the USA. Was spotted several times, that helped the rates on the bands worked, as folks seemed to see them and go check things out. Listened around on 10m for a short while, but did not hear any stations in the contest. The US station pile-ups were a big challenge as many folks seemed to want to work California in the General Class of 20m. I had to employ some filters on the QRZ for CA and EU only stations and I was quite pleased to see the US stations back-off to allow the CA and EU stations in for a contact. EU stations were very workable in the early morning on 20m. Notable contacts; UA0IT at 0048Z on 20m KH6 on the back of the 20m and 40m beams JAs around the same time broadside to the beam on 20m Brazil and Equador towards the end of the contest on 20m DU9/G4UNL LongPath last contact at the end of the contest All in all a fun and somewhat low-key contest with very polite operators. Happy New Year to all and thanks for the contacts and spots !! 73, N6CCH aka Rebar ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: N6IG Class: SOSB/160 HP Total Score = 168 Big score, I know, fiddling around with remote controlled station the night before the Stew Perry contest and handed out a few QSOs.

Happy New Year to all my VE contest friends! The best part of this contest was while I was CQ'ing on 80, I was listening with the other radio on 160. Suddenly in the DX window, there was LA6JFA and then OH2BO. Snapped them up in between CQ's on the main radio for two new countries on 160. Of course, I didn't hear them during Stew Perry, but oh well! 73 Jamie NS3T http://www.radio-sport.net Your home for ham radio contest news ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VA1CHP Class: SO SSB HP Total Score = 150,600 Fun contest. A little laid back, had a nice QSO with an old friend from Calif. A few nice runs, the best was 140 an hr for 2 solid hrs.

Tied 2006 on mults (30) but Qs were down considerably, due very much to a failure on 40M. My US/VE half-square came down during a wind storm near the end of OK DX RTTY two weeks ago. I waited till the morning of RAC Winter to go out and repair it, but as I was raising the repaired wire, the halyard rope broke half way up the tree. Friction in the branches kept the rope from slipping all the way out and lowering the wire completely, but it was very droopy. So, I was using a rather compromised primary antenna for this contest -- used the EU/W6 half-square quite a bit, as well as tuning up the 80M delta-loop (300-ohm feed) for 40M. (211 Qs last year vs. 104 this year on 40M). Definitely noticed the bad band conditions. Didn't match 2006 Q totals on any band. Enjoyed watching the snow fall all day Saturday. Took the final two hours (2-4 p.m. Pacific) to rest and was in Stew Perry at 4:30 p.m. Snowed most of the night, too, as I worked top band. Had fun. Thanks again to RAC for the CW section, and to all for getting in there under rather lousy conditions. 2005 Band QSOs Pts Sec -- Low power 1.8 47 264 3 3.5 45 284 7 7 131 752 9 14 154 670 8 21 47 232 5 Total 424 2202 32 70,464 2006 Band QSOs Pts Sec -- High power 1.8 36 202 4 3.5 101 476 5 7 211 1046 9 14 272 1096 10 21 62 382 2 Total 682 3202 30 96,060 2007 Band QSOs Pts Sec -- High power 1.8 23 136 4 3.5 82 326 6 7 104 400 7 14 240 1018 9 21 51 304 4 Total 500 2184 30 65,520 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE1NB Class: SO CW LP Total Score = 75,040 Removing the ice from the verticals with a propane torch prior to the contest was an interesting challenge ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE1OP Class: SO CW LP Total Score = 137,940 CW only, mic never moved off the hook 80-90 watts 1 radio 13 on-air hours in between snow-shovelling, visitors and post xmas recuperative sleep.

Put the 80m (N/S)dipole back up to the great height of 10 feet because it fell down. Very quiet the first evening. Went to bed. Installed the DRU3 into the new TS2000. Tried it out throughout the test. Seems to work well. Lots of time off throughout the test for kids to the mall, cooking, etc. The RAC tests are always laid back and nice to participate in. I heard the Yukon working 20m near the end of the test. He was S&Ping. I jumped up 5 kc from where he was (assuming most tune up the band) and by the time I had finished tuning, he was calling CQ, and I worked him. (Could of used this in the SS). I think I can work VE3EJ and VA3DX on every freq (except 15m) on ground wave. I am thankfull we do have the seperation due to interference. Moving from FN14 (Kingston On) I was confused by the repeater for VOIP or Echolink that happens on 146.550 in the Niagara Penninsula. (We used 146.550 in Kingston area for FM contest contacts). I thought there would be a lot more activity on VHF down here. Lessons learned are that the TS2000 takes a lot of time to master. 2m vertical omni antenna must be higher than 20 feet. 160, 80, 40 antennas must also be higher than 20 feet! 6m ae must go from 25 to 35 feet. Triband 10/15/20 must go from 40 to 50 feet to clear the trees. Oh well...just goes to show what a city lot can do. I think this will be a good time to invest in an omin-directional 10-80m vertical. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE3RM Class: M/M HP Total Score = 377,346 All reports sent were 59(9) ON, unless otherwise noted.

Don -VE3RM- is trying to get new operators involved in contests and he is doing a great job on that. More new VA3-VE3 are comming to work SSB/CW from Don's and getting hooked with the contest fever. VE6RAC was the loudest signal in all bands. Working 3 VE8 and 2 VY1 stations was very nice also, but only one VY2. High points: To see again VE3RM himself operating CW in a contest, it was the BEST for me. The six meter openning, on Saturday noon, we have worked several FL and AL stations with big signals. I want to THANKS again to Don VE3RM to be a wonderful host and work hard to get more people involved in the world of amateur radio contesting. Happy new year to everybody from the VE3RM's gang 73, Claudio VE3AP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE3TA Class: SO Mixed HP Total Score = 231,336 Thanks for the Contacts 73, Paul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE3UTT Class: SO Mixed HP Total Score = 332,544 Great time in poor conditions but was able to give RAC contacts to 43 countries outside Canada and the US. Thanks for all the participation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE4RAC Class: SO SSB HP Total Score = 117,242 My initial goal eas to ensure that VE4RAC was operational in this contest. I was hoping someone else would have volunteered to put it on the air. However I was the luck individual! My second goal was to improve on last year and I set a target of 600 QSO's. I fell short of that goal but it turned out a lot better than it initially looked like it was going to be. At the start of the contest, 20 was dead and 40 was already going quite long. 80m was the place to be and although the A factor noise was low, we still had the inevitable cosmic cloud hanging over us hear in VE4 land. It ws amazing to hear the VE2/VE3 working each other and the northeast US and the folks out in VE6/VE7 working each other and the K6 & 7's. That left us prairie folk to find each other and the odd DX out east or west:) For those of you that think all us VE4 and VE5 are always so weak, imagine now working everyone on 80 like that! Sunday was a bit better and 20 opened up nicely to the east and west coast. Had a great run of ON and QC stations. The polar predictions indicated that the MUF should have been high enough for some far east, west and south 15m contacts but seem like nobody ventured up there, at least not when I was cruising the band. finally pulled the plug on 20m around 2100 UTC as it seemed everyone had either turned their radios off or headed for 40m. 40m turned ito a fantastic band with about 1 hour to go in the contest. Worked almost 80 stations in 30 minutes on 40. That was a rush! In the end, I am not sure the VE4RAC callsign aided me, although it didn't hurt. I can't wait for next year when I have an actual beam and tower. This contest was run with just a roof mounted 40m vertical and a 130' doublet up about 40 feet at the apex. Thanks to the organizers for putting this fun contest together and t RAC for allowing me the use of the callsign for the contest. 73 and Happy New Year! Ed VE4EAR ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE5CPU Class: SO SSB HP Total Score = 303,572 10 & 15 sucked! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE6CNU Class: SO Mixed LP Total Score = 190,740 The first night was very challenging, to say the least. 20m closed down (in Calgary) one minute before the contest started, so I had to go to 40m right away. Except that there was no propagation on 40m. So it was on to 80m, where things were so-so. My noise level was S9 so only the strong stations made it through. I went QRT around 1AM as nothing was happening. 40m seemed somewhat better in the morning (around 7AM MST) and an hour or so later, 20m was opening up. I ended up having some real nice runs on 20m SSB, so over all things got much better propagation-wise. In fact, the noise level on all bands dramatically dropped, so I was able to make a bunch of QSOs on 40 and 80 later on Saturday afternoon. The only sections I failed to work were Nunavut and NWT. Where were all the MB and SK guys during Sweepstakes? (Not to mention QC?) Worked lots of them this weekend. So all in all, it was a fun contest to operate from home (tribander, plus inverted vee (40m) and shunt-fed tower for 80-160m) with my FT-1000MP and 100W. Hope to see everyone next year. And as for the Stew Perry, I'm afraid it will have to wait until next year. I'm just too mentally fatigued so sit in front of the rig for another night. 73, Jerry VE6CNU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE6RAC Class: M/M HP Total Score = 1,288,320 Holidays and illness kept the operator list down a bit this year, so it was a little hectic at times with 7 stations and only 6 operators. VE6BF and VE6AAT made 99% of the 1053 CW QSO's. 1090 VE and 1330 US/DX contacts in total, with 23 VxxRAC contacts. No Nu worked or even heard here. VE3EJ and VE6NC with 9 q's each, N4PN with 8 and K3TW VE3JM and VE3RM with 7 each were the ones that took the most advantage of our RAC 20 pointers. The bands seemed pretty good, at least up thru 15m. Even though we didn't work that many QSO's on 15, it seemed more due to a lack of stations, rather than signals as many of those we worked were loud. Thanks to those that did call in, good to say hi to many friends again. Logs will be copied to RAC so any QSL requests go to them as they handle the QSL chores. 73 Don VE6RAC @ VE6JY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE7XF Class: SO CW HP Total Score = 165,594 Condx noticeably worse than last year. We MUST be at the bottom of the cycle by now - can it get any worse? With the new 'CW only' category, went HP for the first time ever in a contest. The new(ish) Acom 1000 performed flawlessly (and silently). Vy pleased with myself for working the east coast on 40m before 2pm local. Only westerners know the frustration of watching the DX Atlas terminator creep across the east coast, knowing that they're working everything while we cool our amps for another three hours bfore hearing ANYTHING on 20m :-( Managed to catch an opening on 15 (even ZM1A called me), but zilch here on 10m. I'm struggling towards success with SO2V, but it's not easy with only one (old) brain. It's worth the effort for finding mults, though. New plasma TV next door pretty much wiped out 160 & 80, and made 40m difficult when it was on. I can't believe anything is allowed to radiate this much crud! I've gotta convince the neighbours to let me buy them a new LCD TV instead. Other than CQ WW CW, my favourite contest. Ft-1000mp, Acom 1000 160m inv.L, 80m inv.V, 3 el Steppir @65', 40m F12 dipole @ 72' No room on a city lot for anything more exotic. Ralph, VE7XF, right on the 49th parallel. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE9DX Class: SO CW LP Total Score = 152,256 Very seldom moved much... Thus very few S&P contacts. No SSB contacts whhat so ever. No mic. Took 3 different attemps before I finally got EJ on 10 CW. Heard VE4, 5, 6 and 7 on 160 but no joy. SWR went crazy Saturday about noon due to heavy ice build up on the vertical.This truely is an old fashoned winter. Lost power Saturday for a bit... back to the old paper logs for a bit as I was battery for a bit. Kinda nice, no line noise but paid for it today as I had to enter almost 300 contacts from the paper logs. Almost quit several times. To all that called in 07 - many thanks. Hopefully 2008 will bring better conditions. Happy New Year everyone... 73 Andy (VE9DX) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE9KAR Class: SOSB/80 LP Total Score = 12,192 Had fun in the contest, condx were not the best, Ran barefoot into an inverted V dipole. 73 de VE9KAR ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VO1HE Class: SO Mixed HP Total Score = 101,010 It was an auspicious start as the snowstorm raged outside. My tower was nested and my only viable band was 40M. The noise kept me from hearing most the first night so I hit the rack. Got up to a beautiful morning. Cleared the driveway, cranked up the tower and went for breakfast. Had a few errands so I got back around mid morning and started in. 20M was dismal at best. Europe was hard to hear and there were very few contest stations on. Had a look on 15 and worked a couple. One Ontario station moved me to 10 and we got the Q! Had a few short runs on 20 later in the afternoon. VE8RAC called me and I found VY1RAC calling CQ to a virtually empty band a bit after that. Never heard VY0 at all, if there were any on. I looked at the score and it looked interesting so I figured that it was time to quit. With another storm hitting us as I type this, it was a good thing as it gave me the chance to lower my tower again. Last night was windless and cold; similar to the morning. Anyway, thanks for the Qs and CU next year. 73 -- Paul VO1HE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VO1JNS Class: SO SSB LP Total Score = 80,460 This is my first RAC Winter Contest, enjoed it very much. Looking foward to next years contest. A big thanks to every one for all the Q's Happy New Year & Good Dx! VO1JNS Jason ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VO1KVT Class: SO SSB LP Total Score = 103,040 Conditions not the best but it was good to work a bunch of Canadian stations. This was my first contest using my new tower and Mosley TA53M antenna. The beam certainly made a big difference compared to the wire antennas I used in the past. The only dissapointment for the contest was I did not hear some of the RAC stations on any of the bands, did not work VO1RAC, VE1RAC, VE2RAC,VE5RAC, VE7RAC and VY0RAC. Really enjoyed the contest, lots of fun. Happy New Year 73 VO1KVT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VO1MP Class: SO Mixed HP Total Score = 43,848 A little Rac Winterlude Fun, conditions not great . Seasons Greetings and Happy New year Hope every body had a Merry Christmas and Santa delivered lots of Radio toys !! C'Y'All Next one GLWCDR Gus VO1MP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VY2RAC Class: SO Mixed LP Total Score = 172,896 Second year to operate RAC bonus station from the QTH which was a bit crippled this time around.Decided to operate low power since my SB-220 is undergoing some updates and figured VY2RAC and PEI would probably be worth a few DB.I think I figured wrong.Bands were not great and VY2RAC just never seemed to generate that much attention.Yagi has taken a few hits during early winter storms and is missing a couple of elements.I put in as much time as possible, but there was the usual housekeeping for holiday wellwishers and minor errands.I know I suffered in the CW department which is not my forte but I tried my best to put it out there.Strangely, the majority of responsess to cw CQs were from USA;in fact, many of my CQ periods on the half-hour went unanswered.Is my code that bad??? Don't answer that!!! Never heard a Territory,so guess I am unlucky in that department.All in all it was still a lot of fun and it was an honor to operate with the bonus call.It was worth it to hear the reaction from a few stations when I just 'dropped in' to give them PEI and the RAC bonus.Hope we got into your log.73,Bill ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: W0BH Class: M/S HP Total Score = 253,022 The past few summers, we vacationed in Canada, so I look forward to the RAC contests and the chance to perhaps chat with some of the friendly hams we met north of the border. This year, 41% of my contacts were with VE-land stations, down a bit from last year but still a good percentage. Conditions were interesting - 40 was tough until the end of the contest when I should have moved there sooner, 80 and 160 were noisy and hard work, 20 was good, and 15 sporadic. Nothing heard on 10. I didn't catch VY0 or VY2 on any band, although I heard several stations working a VY2 on 20 which I couldn't hear. Heard very faint VE2 and VE3 on 15 but they couldn't hear me. Had some help finding a mult from a helpful ham who was probably reading right off a cluster. Not sure if that makes me M/S, but listed myself that way just in case. Thanks for all the stateside and DX Qs (38) as well .. they certainly kept things lively! Happy New Year to all! 73, Bob, w0bh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: W1END Class: SO CW LP Total Score = 16,986 A super way to close out the 2007 contesting season. Thanks to all and Happy New Year. Eldon - W1END ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: W2LHL Class: SO CW LP Total Score = 6,752 My favorite ant damaged by falling tree. 40/80/160 vert looks like letter S. Tried, but gave up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: W4PM Class: SO CW HP Total Score = 3,492 I only had a couple of hours to play mainly on 80 and 160. 73, Puck, W4PM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: W6/VK2IMM Class: SOSB/20 LP Total Score = 5,746 Rig: TS-530S Ant: Triband GP 12AVQ Nearly missed this contest but found many stations on the band Saturday morning and decided to make a few QSOs. Condx seemed to be good and more and more VE stations were appearing. I ended up working most of them during the day coming to the radio for a few minutes time after time. All QSOs S&P. Great to see the difference with DX contests in how easy it was to work most stations with 100W and a vertical, I even enjoyed SSB this time. QRB for most QSOs was in 2000-4000 km range so so these are neither local nor DX contacts from W6. This makes a big difference with working either JA or EU from here what can be a struggle without a multi element beam. Fun contest to work from U.S. Happy New Year to all. Sergey ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: W7WHY Class: M/S HP Total Score = 16,872 Friday night conditions seemed really weird here in the PNW. Seemed like there were very few stations on that I was hearing. Skip on 40 seemed really long and not much activity there. Also not a lot doing on 80 either. Saturday was a work day here, so only got on for a little in the afternoon. It was fun though. Did get one good run goig when I got home and had a little excitment for a while. Now to submit my log and get going in the Stew Perry. HNY to all!! Tom W7WHY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: WB8JUI Class: SO CW LP Total Score = 57,596 The high bands were once again a major disappointment. My only 10 meter QSO was with Andy VE9DX who moved me there from 15 meters. Hope to see everyone again in July for the RAC Canada Day contest. Thanks to all for the QSOs. 73 - Rick WB8JUI ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: YW7A Class: SO CW LP Total Score = 1,788 Rig: ICOM 735 Ant: Dipoles Operation Only 1,2 hours.
