2010 ARRL November Sweepstakes (CW)

11/14/2010 | KE0Z/VE4

Another year at the Maple Leaf Motel in Emerson, MB for the annual November SS.  My set up is portable and pretty modest, an IC706 into a  80/40 flat top trap dipole only about 25' high and an elevated feedpoint,  Hygain 12AVQ vertical.  Being in Manitoba makes it a blast though and it is fun to be on the other end of the pileup for a change.  :-)

The photo is of a marker that stands directly on US and Canadian border.  It is only about 200 yards South of the motel.  The camera is facing West so Canada is on the right and the extreme NW corner of Minnesota on the left.  The trees are along the Red River and across the river left is the NE corner of ND.

Missed the sweep by 3 sections this year.
