What an outstanding day on the bands it was, and weather wise it isn't bad either. Listening on the repeater I heard the guys talking about how hot 40m was, so I packed my things and headed out the door to VE-0023, the Frontenac Biosphere.
I have found that normally after you have worked 6 or 7 hunters the pile-up dries up and you need to re-spot yourself on POTA Spots to keep the traffic heading your way. Not this morning!! The pile-up didn't dry up until after I had 25 contacts in my log, and then a quick CQ POTA call brought in another 11 contacts.
So 36 contacts in the log in twenty-five minutes. You can't beat that! Radio, as usual, was my KX3 running 10w into a 40m Hamstick on the roof of my van.
Propagation numbers today were: SFI=91, SN=32, A Index=3, and the K Index=1. It looks like things are picking up propagation wise.
So far this year I've done 86 POTA activations and logged over 2300 QSO's. I'm hoping to have 100 activations completed by Christmas.
The weather this coming week doesn't look too promising, it's looking like rain every day, but I'm hoping to get at least another 2 activations in before the end of the month.
