Hey all:
Ok, i think this is the dx ssb contest weekend....it is some contest anyway.
Just wanted to mention that I have pretty fair propigation into JA land, and
into all of south america on 15 and 20 from alberta.
Managed to make contact with a mexican station using my 20M dipole on 15
with an 8 to 1 swr...I'm guessing he must have had good ears.
Also worked a J A on 20, which is quite odd for the middle of the afternoon
and the sub par antenna i'm using on 20
I'm not big into contesting, and most of the US stations didn't want any
canadians for the contest so I was a bit limited to hunting for other dx,
though the US can be considered dx from here since it is another country and
all.
