VE2 Megactivation july 21st

Hi all

VE2 SOTA folks will gather on Mont Mégantic SOTA VE2/ES-003 (10 pts) on july 21st for a group activation, with many SOTA enthusiasts. This should be the biggest VE2 activation up to date, gathering guys from the entire province. We will post alerts on individual basis for the occasions. Hope to contact the more people possible.

Please WORK US ALL! :wink: and spot us (we don’t know about cell/aprs coverage there)

A video will be posted later.

Thanks in advance JP VA2SG

All being well I’ll look for you between 0000z and 0300z on 22nd.
I’m intending to activate G/CE-001 running two ATS rigs during that time, for the ATS Sprint.

All we need is some favourable propagation :slight_smile:

ATTENTION! Most of the VE2s will be activating on SATURDAY JULY 20, 2013. It appears from the ALERTS page that most VE2s will QRV around 1600 UTC on Saturday. I will also QRV Green Knob (W4C/CM-020) at this time and hope to catch some VE2 S2Ss. In my experience 20m will be the best band for VE2<>W4 propagation at 1600z.

Using a common time for activations is a GREAT idea for those of us collecting S2S with limited activation time. Just remember to SPREAD OUT and listen carefully so you don’t CQ on top of another activator.

Good luck and many S2S to all!
