Re: Topband: VE1PZ
He was in the pileups and much to strong to be outside North America 73 Frank W3LPL - Original Message - From: Roger D Johnson n...@roadrunner.com To: topband@contesting.com Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2015 11:01:17 PM Subject: Topband: VE1PZ I see VE1PZ is one of the few that worked the E3!

Re: Topband: VE1PZ
VE1PZ is a good friend of mine based out of Pictou, NS. ( I say based as at times he's had different houses and cottages in the region) He's never operated remote that I know of. Doug is a stand up guy and the word cheating is not in his vocabulary. I don't know his current stn setup, but suffice to say he knows Topband and likely is running a shunt fed tower or tall inverted L within a snowballs throw of the Northumberland straight. He's been on TopBand longer than I have (I got on around 1991 I think)... He (and I) hold the CQ160 M/S record (from his stn, with his call) and we, along with K7BV did CY9AA in 1997..where we made many Topband contacts..actually Doug made most of the Q;'s on Topband. http://www.uksmg.org/content/cy9photo.htm He's also an accomplished 6m op. If you don't know the call, I respectfully submit you just have not been paying attention. May I suggest before accusing this fella of some wrongdoing, you at least have SOME facts in hand? I'm sorry he (apparently) beat you in the pileups, but tough noogies for you ! Mike VE9AA Mike, Coreen Corey Keswick Ridge, NB _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband

I still need CY9 for an ATNO. What are the prospects for it getting activated again any time soon? Have the permissions changed since 1997?
