[SMCARA] Forty Meters

[Frederic Clarke]

So, I was fiddling around on 40 meter FT-8* tonight.  I worked an HI8 
(Dominican Republic) and a WP3 (Puerto Rico) and then I saw this 
strapping signal from Canada.  I double clicked him on the WSJT-X and 
shortly he came back with a +01 for me and I gave him a +03. Cool!  
Later when I looked VO1CBL up on QRZed, I was floored to find out it was 
no other than Sam Leach, K3KLC operating his new "remote station" in 
Newfoundland! Ham radio is the most amazing hobby!

I think we need a talk by Sam at a future SMCARA meeting. What say?
