VY1JA just completed with VE7TIL to complete the most coveted award yet
on 2200m 'Worked All VE7'
After months of struggling with high urban noise and lately wind storms
blowing over my loading coil... We completed at QRSS30 during the early
evening hours. Condx at first were poor with much QSB at my end but
later the condx improved to solid audible copy at both ends as we
completed. Looking at J's beacon signal now we would have been able to
complete at QRSS3 or CW had we decided to try in the early hours of this
morning. But after months of trying at higher speeds only to have fade
outs or my neighbour's light dimmer(s) come on to wreck things we
decided to take the slow but sure path while my antenna was still
upright and his new amp functional.
