Victor, youre way too good for us! What is your 80m antenna?

481 QSOs 78 Sections 75036
Missed OK and NWT.
Fallait simplement penser au 15m pour PR. Il m'a donné aussi LA qui a tardé à venir.
Had to stop at 7PM, everybody here including myself, had a bad flu this weekend. Was too tired.

Merci VA2WDQ, VE2OJ
Bon travail, maintenant des volontaires pour le SSB? Pas sur que ca me tente finalement..
---*** Some monday morning added comments (Just for you guys) ***---
Sections: probably like most of us, got to 68 sections quickly saturday night. Went to around 73 at noon sunday. then started looking for missing ones.
After noon, decided to give 15m a try, and gets missing PR, as well as LA.
Then, heard K2QMF on 20, missing NLI, but too close, and couldnt break pileup. Thought I'd make it later on 40 and I did as expected, but tuning a bit lower of pileup to get my signal a different tone from the other ones. Got it at second call! 100W in a vertical!
Later running 40, KM6Z gives LAX, which was missing.
At the end, copied an exchange involving a OK doing S&P, tryied as hard as I can to get his attention at the very end of hi QSO but missed it. Zut!
I never never heard NWT... But copied AL7IF so many times!
Operations: At my first SS last year, I made 420 QSO buts lost 15% due to mistakes in exchanges reception, in my part. This year, my target was simply sweep and get the most accurate as possible.
I believe my CW habilities are getting better and better year after year as I am pretty confident I got most at first time. That said, I cannot contest as much as I can... Yesterday, I always had a good feeling. Also, condx helped as there was no trouble making QSB here, at least for most of the time.
Also, as everybody need accuracy, do not be shy of asking a repeat. The guys want us bad I think...
The hexbeam helps a lot on 20. I am a tower less to serious results but there will never be a tower here. Thats for next decade or century hi hi.
I dont care, I am having a ball with what I got.
Unfortunately, had to stop at 7PM sunday evening, take care of kids and take care of my flu...
So I was on tha air about 18 hours. SS CW, CQ DX CW and CQ WPX CW are really FB FB activities!
Contesting with small stations : Le contesting, c'est l'art de s'amuser et de faire le mieux que l'on peux avec ce que l'on a. Alors, Chapeau à VE2EZD pour ton résultat Louis. Tu as eu du fun? Tu es gagnant!
---*** End Fin ***---
