[Wswss] [PNWVHFS] N6ZE/Ship Mobile: W7 (Grid CN88) Fall 2013 2 Meter Sprint Report

[Darryl Holman]

Hi Pete,

   Thanks for the SWL report.  It's a shame you didn't have permission to 
transmit.   It was quite an evening.  And for me, an all time best 2m sprint.

I activated the CN86/CN87/CN96/CN97 grid corner from a new spot on Mud mountain 
and the same old spots on Mowich Lake road.   The results:

GRID    QSOs  Grids
CN86    16    7
CN87    10    4
CN96    10    5
CN97    14    3

Some highlights:

   -- Working John, VE7DAY in CO70 from CN86, CN87 and CN96.
   -- Working VA7MM from CN86, CN97, and CN96
   -- W7EW was, at times, booming in from CN84 into all four grids, worked him 
from three of them.
   -- Finding a good corridor into the Portland area from CN86.  (150m up the 
road in CN96, no such corridor.)
   -- Working N7SC in CN82 from CN86.

Best,
   Darryl
