John, VE3ISE, from Grimsby was activating Henley Island, ON-007, near St. Catherines this morning. He was using an FT-897D and a Hustler Mobile antenna mounted on his car, but he was a lovely S9+20 here in Kingston on 40m, but he was having issues with a S9 background noise at his location.
John was also having some issues with the weather, he had snow with freezing rain on the way. He sounded happy to be on the air non-the-less.
