    "content": "Eric,\n\nHave fun operating from Miquelon, I was on the birds from there in 2005. \nFP is an awesome place to operate from because of the windows to both EU \nand W/VE. You'll be amazed how close to the ocean's horizon you can work \neither the analog or FM birds, I could hear them even before the would \nreach one degree of elevation. The European passes on FM or SSB can be \nhectic and some stations will keep calling no matter who you come back \ntoo...there was an IV3 that never made it in my log because all he did \nwas QRM the entire pass.  I would start out by calling CQ on CW and then \nwork that pile up down to nothing in a couple minutes then switch to \nSSB. If you stay at the Maxhotel you may find my Texas potato masher II \nantennas are still stored in a storage room with a bunch of other \nantenna hardware. They were made of PVC and brass rod and I taped them \nall together in a bundle. Feel free to you them, they worked really well \nand I only had to reposition them twice a pass. I would point them where \nthe bird would rise then once it reached its zenith I would run outside \nand point them to where the bird would set. They were only four feet off \nthe ground and I didn't bother to elevate them at all, I didn't need \ntoo. Each antenna was on a separate mast and spaced about 20 ft apart to \nkeep from de-sense problems. There is the big hill to the west that \nsometimes gets in the way of the path to the western US and the hills to \nthe north don't really get in the way of much at all since there's never \nanyone on from Siberia...lol. Operating from GN16 was way more difficult \nthan GN17 because my setup was surrounded by buildings and the mountain \nto the west of town. We lucked out on the WX when we were there, it only \nblew and rained one day but when it did, it didn't mess around. I have \nsome cool pics of my HF2V antenna bending in a 70 MPH wind!\n\n73,\nIan - K8MM\n\nJohn Papay wrote:\n> (Relayed from KV1J who is having trouble posting)\n>\n> I will be operating from the island of Miquelon (Grid GN17)\n> from October 26 through November 2 as FP/KV1J.
