Ole Buck Mountain VE6/RA-030

Old Reflector

Not much to say…
If there was a trail I did not find it. I bushwhacked most of the way following animal foot prints in the snow, squeezing between trees. Again I carried my snow shoes but the 12 inches was crusty enough. I was glad that I had my GPS with me & fresh batteries as you can’t see much with the tree cover even at the top.
I used x20 Counterpoise radials for 20m and x1 radial for 40m today.

Thanks everybody for your patience

I am not sure if this would be better in summer as this area has a number of black & grizzly bears, fortunately for me they were sleeping.

In reply to G0RQL: Don I only got a partial call sign G?RQL with no signal report or confirm. I definitively heard your British accent asking for a signal report, you were 5-8 briefly. I called CQ DX a few times but you disappeared… I was running 8 watts on a KX3
