Several years ago we tested the mettle of Canadian soldier by putting him on a stationary bike to generate the power to make some contacts. He groaned when we were transmitting 100W but stuck with it and we got our points.<br /><br />Time to start training, I think.<br /><br />73,<br />ChrisVE3NRThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03495664566826092253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258590603195449959.post-85963189883966286192016-07-02T23:08:16.567-04:002016-07-02T23:08:16.567-04:00I should also mention that the 40m ssb tent had no...I should also mention that the 40m ssb tent had no pencils, no paper, no scratchpads...just an awesome k3 set up and n1mm. I started to protest the lack of stationary but after a few pileups it was like " ok chris....i can do this paperless idea". We also had davids voip telephone set up running off our wifi backbone and it was strange as i was working through a bunch of epa, wpa, nny, nli and nnj stations i could hear this ringing in the background. Chef Peter to 40m band captain....dinner is in on...ok ok ok but let me just get this 1e TN in the log and and i will scoot right over....( click )VE3IPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14275206767081013938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258590603195449959.post-38744415240413300912016-07-02T22:59:01.334-04:002016-07-02T22:59:01.334-04:00I was actually upset with Chef Pete and his gang o...I was actually upset with Chef Pete and his gang of Sous Chefs....the menu was so good I gained weight.....i am talking to the ARRL about a treadmill mobile class.for 2017.

I had the luxury to switch back and forth across two antennas to dig out several qrp stations and down in the noise 1D epa and MI to add to the list. Please pat yourself on the back for those w6 and kh6 contacts at 3am while i was snoring away. What i really enjoy about FD is the passion and teamwork that comes together.
