Hi!
Thanks to everyone for the fun afternoon on the radio from the Pacific side of Vancouver Island. I operated from a high spot next to sports fields in Ucluelet, British Columbia, in grid CN78fw. VA7EWK logged 55 QSOs on 5 different satellites. I could not stay out there well into the evening, despite the late sunset, since the road off the coast was going to be shut down overnight for construction work.
Earlier on Tuesday, VA7EWK operated from 2 other locations - one AO7 pass at Campbell River where I had operated from on Sunday (CN79jx/CO70ja - 8 QSOs), then an HO68 pass from Port Alberni on the highway over to the Pacific coast (CN79og - 16 QSOs) later in the morning.
Wednesday will be a light radio day. I will head down to the provincial capital Victoria on thr south end of the island, then take the ferry over to Vancouver. I may get on a pass or two from Victoria, since I have never worked from grid CN88 previously.
Thursday may also be a light radio day. I am still planning on attending the North Shore Amateur Radio Club meeting in North Vancouver. Any operating would probably be from somewhere in Metro Vancouver (CN89). Then on one of the two remaining full days in Canada (Friday or Saturday) will be my day-trip up to Whistler and grid CO80.
Good night, and 73!
