Bruce Peninsula Multisports Race - VE3WI Dave - 2019-08-11
We had a great day at the race. Perfect weather & no bears this year
Ham volunteers (hope I don't miss anyone):
Tim VE3RTE & Greg VE3NXB ran net control at Wiarton arena.
In the field: Bobby VE3PAV, Doug VE3WRF, Frank VA3GUF, Fred VA3STG, Phil VE3QVC, Tom VA3TVA, Zane VA3ZRD & yours truly VE3WI.
Frank & Tom overcame an early repeater problem & kept us communicating. My attempt to reach the portable repeater from Hope Bay with a 4 el. yagi up about 20' did not work, but fortunately Fred's crossband repeater in his vehicle worked great again.
Lots of fun watching someone doing touch-and-goes on Hope Bay with a cute little amphibian (ICON 5 I think. Best 500k$ he ever spent!).
See you all again on 8 Aug 2020!
