Hi!
I had fun working those 3 passes earlier. I was in Burnaby, a suburb to the
east of Vancouver in CN89lg, and made QSOs all across North America. Even
XE2AT called me on AO7. I logged 13 QSOs on a western AO51 pass, 7 on AO7,
and 4 more on FO29. Fun!
I still plan on bing at CO60/CO70 tomorrow. No guarantees on how early,
but with sunset around 0500 UTC up here I may work more passes than I
originally planned. Please note my call here does not use the traditional
VE prefix... when I obtained my Canadian license in 2002, VE7EWK was
already issued. The VA prefix had been available in many provinces
for a couple of years, and I went with VA7EWK. This is the first time in 8+
years VA7EWK has been on anything other than local repeaters; I used
CJ7EWK on satellites from Vancouver in late 2008.
73!
