    "content": "Hi!\n\nFor a day where I did not plan on doing much radio, I was on more\nthan I had thought I would attempt.  I got on an early AO-51 pass \naround 1410 UTC yesterday morning from where I spent Tuesday night \n(Port Alberni, CN79).  After that, I drove down to Victoria on the\nsouthern end of Vancouver Island, and worked 5 passes on 3 different\nsatellites in CN88.  I was on an SO-50 pass from near Mill Bay, north\nof Victoria in CN88fp (thanks Brock W6GMT for keeping me from talking \nto myself and the polar bears on that pass), then an HO-68 pass from \nthe Victoria suburb of View Royal in CN88gk.  I made it to Victoria\nproper for a pair of SO-50 passes and an AO-27 pass, working from \nthe Mile 0 monument (the western end of the Trans-Canada Highway) \nnear the waterfront in CN88hj.  \n\nAfter some sightseeing and filling up the fuel tank in my car, it \nwas time to wrap up my stay on Vancouver Island.  I took the 3pm\n(2200 UTC) sailing from the Swartz Bay ferry terminal north of \nVictoria to the Tsawwassen terminal south of Vancouver, but that \ndid not end my time operating from CN88.  I saw there was an AO-27\npass coming around the midpoint of the 95-minute trip on the ferry.\nI decided to try working that pass, but not with my log periodic \nand mobile radio.  With my IC-T7H HT and a Smiley Antenna tri-band \ntelescoping whip, I was able to make a pair of QSOs with K7WIN in\nArizona followed by KG6NUB in California.  I tried to also get \nKL7XJ in the log, but being so far north I simply ran out of time\nbefore the post-repeater telemetry.  All of this took place in grid\nCN88hu - taking that from my Garmin GPS receiver's display while I\nwas on for that pass.  I also had the GPS receiver's compass function\non, to verify what direction the ship was moving while I was on the \nrear open-air deck of the ferry.  \n\nI did not realize until I had parked on the ferry and gathered my\ngear for the AO-27 pass that I left my Maldol AH-510R telescoping\nwhip at home.  This is similar to the more popular AL-800, but \nalso covers 6m and has a BNC connector that makes a better physical\nconnection to my HTs' BNC connectors.  I still had the Smiley whip,\nand made that work as good as I could considering the AO-27 pass.\nIn any event, the shipborne QSOs were a learning experience.  \n\n>From this point on, all my operating will be on the Lower Mainland \nof British Columbia, and not from an island.  I may be on some \npasses this afternoon, but since CN89 is not a rare grid thanks \nto local operators like VE7JRX I am not looking to set a schedule \nnor plan on being by the radio for many passes.  I will make a \npoint of working more passes on Friday - similar to how I worked \nfrom the Vancouver Island grids earlier this week - when I go up to \nWhistler and operate from somewhere around that town in grid CO80.  \nDepending on how early I start out, I will work as many passes as I \ncan while mixing in sightseeing and wandering around Whistler Village \nat the base of the ski hills up there.  For Whistler/CO80, that will\nbe using both FM and SSB satellites.\n\nSo far, with Whistler still to come, I have logged 271 QSOs from \n5 grids on Vancouver Island (CN78, CN79, CN88, CO60, CO70) and on\nthe ferry, and one grid in the metro Vancouver area (CN89), since\narriving in Vancouver Saturday afternoon.  It's been fun handing \nout new grids, and working some passes with challenges - AO-27's \ntimer in relation to being so far north, shallow passes, dealing \nwith surroundings that don't help satellite operating, etc.  \n\n73!\n\n\n\n\nPatrick VA7EWK/WD9EWK - North Vancouver, British Columbia\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n\n",
