Saturday was good...

Finally after weeks of below zero temperatures we had a day with positive numbers! It was actually 7C (44.6F) outside during my activation at Parrot's Bay....felt like a heat wave!

Propagation was: SFI=139, SN=41, A Index=10, and the K Index=2. There was quite a bit of QSB around as well that made a few hunters not copyable for me.

I managed to do the whole activation on 15m, complete with a few mini-pileups. Not bad for a SSB QRP station.

As you can see from the contact map below, a good number of QSO's were made into Europe, including a fantastic one with Nasos, SV3SFJ in Greece. That's 730 km per watt, not too shabby!

My activations will start to slow down now for a couple of weeks, as the snow and ice start to melt the park parking lots become fields of mud and are very difficult to get in and out of.  I'll be back at it once everything has melted and firmed up ready for the spring.

Here's the contact map:

Stay Safe Out There!!
