[amsat-bb] FJ/N2IEN

[Paul Stoetzer]

I know I probably won't get DXCC unless we get a HEO, but I'm
actively pursuing the OSCAR Century Award. I'm at 87 worked now and still
need 5 Canadian call areas (the 3 territories plus Nova Scotia and PEI).
All have been worked with 5 watts from my portable dual FT-817 setup (or an
Icom IC-R10 receiver I used before getting the second FT-817) and an Arrow
or Elk antenna. I'd really like to get all 100 QRP but I do have a 30w 2m
amp I recently acquired if I need it for a low FO-29 pass or a crowded
SO-50 pass. I'll probably add a 70cm amp at some point too if I run across
a good deal for low AO-7 passes.

73,

Paul, N8HM
