AAØO off the air, moving the QTH

Took the antenna down today after the afternoon CWT. Made some DX CW contacts with Sweden and Croatia before shutting it down. Didn’t have any issue taking down the antenna or taking it apart. The hexbeam fit nicely in the box my hammock frame came in. It’s amazing how small it all packed up to. I left the tripod on the roof now, I’ll go back up a little later and fix the roof. I’m planning to use the OCF dipole on some camo poles until I decide on a tower setup at the new place. Be back on the air soon!

New bureau cards

Got some cards from the Bureau in the mail. VE6SH is the IARU president, also got 5X2S from the Uganda DXpedition, also HA7TM, a guy who’s always on a radio. On a side note, at last nights VE session there was an older gentleman and lady who didn’t know each other. While we were grading their tests (they both passed Technician), he got her number and then they left together.
