Did only about 100 qso's during this contest just to give points and pick some new DX.
On 15m/phone , I had the opportunity to say goodbye to my friend Phil FO8RZ who was doing his last contest in Tahiti. Phil removes his antennas this week before moving back to France after his two years professional mission in Tahiti. It happens that George VE2NGH was running just 1.5 khz below him and the qso was not easy on my side. I guess it was the same thing for George when I was speaking. Sorry George for qrm....
By the way, I am very happy to see George giving us a report of a serious participation in a contest. After his successful Fieldday, it seems that George have got the virus. Welcome and congrats George.
A second nice surprise is to see Alex and Victor going ‘’oversee’’ to reach favorable contest positions and doing very well. Congrats to both of you and thank to put VE2 amateurs on the map.
This is a very important thing to put VE2 on the map, I am always very disappointed when I fight to turn the mind of a DX or contest station who cannot imagine that my call is not VE3TZT but VE2TZT. It looks like people on other side do not expect at all that a VE2 station can be on the air and reach them…
