What a\ngreat trip with 1,140 contacts in the log (over 900 already with\nconfirmations in LoTW).\n\nThe trip started out very well filling in many holes in holes in many\npeople's 488 maps in DN land and a bit of EN land.\n\nAfter crossing the border, many never before heard grids were activated.\nThe real fun began after crossing the 60th Parallel into the Northwest\nTerritories and into DP land, a field that most people had never worked.\n\nThe conditions were great, temperatures weren't absurd (don't get me wrong,\nstill damn cold). The Winter Roads I did get on were great (lots of fun\nworking from the Detah Winter Road on Great Slave Lake in DP22). Nothing\ngreater than working across the Atlantic while on an ice road under the\nnorthern lights... DP00 was definitely the most absurd grid I visited, on\nthe Trout Lake Winter Road. Next time I'll have to go further and get into\nCP90.\n\nEverything seemed to go very well up until around day three in VE8 when all\nof my coax jumpers began acting up. I still managed to get on some passes\nwith this setup and make some great contacts. It eventually got bad enough\nwhere I had one jumper that seemed to work alright and the whip on my car\nand used that for 2m, basically limiting me to FO-29 (where I was very\nquiet most of the time).\n\nUpon getting into BC, John K8YSE found Tim VE7XIX (former VE5SAT, AC2GK). I\nmet up with Tim in Fort Saint John, BC and he had everything we needed to\nmake a temporary repair on two of my jumpers. Thanks to Tim the portion\nbetween BC and Portland, OR was saved (solder and lots of gorilla tape).\n\nUpon reaching Oregon and California, thanks to Clayton W5PFG and Steve N9IP\nI was able to get some new coax jumpers.\n\nThe drive down the coast and through the desert was great, many rare grids\nactivated. A memorable time was driving through LA and listening to the\n147.435 repeater and checking into the \"Bong Hit Net\" at 4:20PM.\n\nIt was great to meet many hams throughout the trip, in both the US and\nCanada. Especially fun was attending the Palm Springs Hamfest and meeting\nmany SoCal sat ops (and a certain displaced 9 lander). My buddy Ethan also\npassed his tech at at the hamfest and will soon be KE0xxx and hopes to get\non the birds soon. Was great to meet John K8YSE in Mesa and get EN91 as a\n/r grid (easiest /r grid I've ever gotten).\n\nAll contacts are uploaded to LoTW. If you are missing anything, now would\nbe a good time to start emailing. Big thanks to Dave KG5CCI, Fernando\nNP4JV, and Paul N8HM for being my QSL managers. Those three received my\nlogs via Iridium messages and uploaded. If you enjoyed receiving instant\nQSLs from the sub-Arctic out of range of any terrestrial networks, thank\nthose three, it wouldn't have been possible without them.\n\nThanks to all for all the contacts, it was a ton of fun and I look forward\nto the next one (I'm itching to use V31NJ, hint hint)!\n\n73,\nGabe\nNJ7H\n", "attachments": [] }
