Hi Clint!
Thanks for the shout. I am parked next to a monument
marking the 50th parallel along the waterfront in
Campbell River, British Columbia, now. GPS says the
line is south of the monument, oh well. Only 16C/61F
here, much better than back in Phoenix at the
moment. And a full week to go up here.
I did not hear the first 30 to 45 seconds of the 7-
minute repeater time, being so far north. Still fun
to get through. Thanks to portable gear and no problems
at Phoenix airport security and Canada Customs, I have my
normal (portable) station with me. :-)
73 and happy July 4 to those south of me in the States!
