The “Electric Vespa” will be earning its keep this afternoon as its carrying my portable station and me to Dale Park this afternoon for the CQ WW VHF Contest. Although there is no mountian there I will be operating in the HILLTOPPER Catagory which means QRP and a maximum operating of 6 consecutive hours. In addition to the portable radio gear I had to find a way to get the 3 element 2m beam and the 6m delta loop (with its 6 foot boom) safely attached to the Vespa for the trip.
Note to self: Re engineer the delta loop boom to break down to a more workable length for travelling!!!
Its a good thing the park is not that far from my place… about 3km give or take a bit…
On to the QSL….
This found when I checked my EQSL inbox
Glad to see I got them in the log…
Calgary is not rare DX but its good to get A Canadian Tradition in the log…
