Re:FYBO 2010, effort multi/multi - 2010/02/09 11:25
VG2SG began its transmission around 9h30 AM. Temp was cold at minus 10 C, which is great because it give us a fine multiplier. (FYBO rules: ther colder we are at operation point, the more more pointe we have.
We used 2 FT817, running 5 watts into an end fed zepp for 40, and a portable moxon for 20, all EZD built.
We had great fun, making 53 contacts, al across NA, with a fun QSO with Laci HA7UG, both 5 watts output. Louis catched the bonus station NQ7RP in Arizona, who got a great signal.
After lunch, light wind began to make things funnier ( ) as we were struggling against the cold to stay on the air, both getting alternatively inside the St-Georges-de-Beauce college entrance to warm up!
At 4h30 PM, with 53 QSOs in the log, and some work to get all the stuff in Louis Tercel, we stopped operations, but what fun this was!
The hot dinner and beer at Boston Pizza was apprciated.
53 QSOs, 32 States, provinces , countries abt 81000 points in the multi/multi category.
