Comments:

This was my best January VHF contest yet. AMAZING
local turnout saved the day. Antennas were horizontal
loops on 50/144/222 and verticle whips on 432/903/1296. FM only
on 1296 and 10Ghz. I am pleased with the success of this minimal
station!

Some highlights include:

- -23C Sunday morning ! BRRR!!!! Coax was FROZEN
solid!

- Working VE3XK, VE3CVG and VA3CDD/R on seven bands

- Making first Light (Laser) Contest QSO with VE3AAQ!!

- Working K2AXX in FN12 on 144 while mobile in FN25!

- Dinner with VE3CVG and his XYL

- Hearing V01???/VE3 ask VE3??? if he has "any other
grids? any other grids?" ;-)

Thanks to all the locals, especially VA3CDD/R for the
great contacts!
