Common sense prevailed….
VE3EMB and myself decided NOT to head up hill in a storm and so we won’t be operating from the Champlain Lookout for the ARRL VHF Contest today…

As of 1210 pm edst heres what it looked at. The red dot is the area where we were going to operate from if the WX had not soured…

As an afterthought I guess I should of gone to the OARC Hamfest… but as they say “hindsight is 20/20…”
Hope everyone who went had a good time…

I’m glad to see “sanity” rules !! It was extremely nasty here in Kingston from 0400L to 1300L. Pretty hard rain, lots of thunder boomers and tons of lightning. Not the ideal portable operating weather.
The boys in Grimsby cancelled their activation of Byng Island ON-037 today as well due to the bad weather, so you’re not the only one to get weathered out.
We’re out tomorrow at CAN-788, see my blog for details.
