1st activation for me: VE2/OU-001 tommorow

Hi,

I plan to activate VE2/OU-001 tommorow.

I put some information on my blog:

I’m looking forward to making some S2S contacts with Europe, if I can be on the air earlier than my plan I will do so.

I will be beaconing my status:

Good luck Martin, ENJOY! Sean M0GIA

Hi Martin,

Good luck with todays activation. Me and my Dad M1EYP were going to some activations this weekend to you summit to summit to north America, but we cancelled our weekend activations because of our horrible weather and because my borther isn’t well.

I hope your activation goes well and I hope you will do some more activations in the furture because the north America associations are very rare for SOTA.

You also might be interested in setting up a SOTA association for VE3 because I think you live there because of your prefix and because you are interessted in SOTA.

Hi,

Thanks for following my APRS track and trying to make contact with me on the summit. I had a blast doing this, and I have written it up in full at:

I could indeed do that.

The highest point in Ontario is fun to get to:

Oh, somthing forgotten? he is walking back.

Yes I started walking on the wrong trail, 2 hiking trails only about 200ft apart and in parallel, easy mistake to make (I’m telling myself that anyhow!)

Hopefully I can manage some trans-atlantic contacts next time around, I may ask VA2SG for pointers, he worked a lot of European stations:

73!
