Hi Paul - I know this is a TopBand reflector, so I'll keep this comment short.
Jack was being modest. He was among the very first of us VE's to get 6m DXCC as well. I think maybe #2 or #3..I can never seem to recall the exact order after VE1YX... Mike VE9AA.FN66na Hi Jeff, I'm a 50 MHz aficionado and recently decided to try 160 meters. A while back, there was a writeup about Jack in one of the magazines. The article included some photos of Jack's station, one of which was of his giant 6-meter quagi - the one he used to work Turkey on that band. I liked the way Jack hooked things up! I was impressed and I called him up on the landline. I wanted to find out more about him and what he did to be as successful as he was. We had a long enjoyable conversation. I hoped someday to be able to travel all the way to Nova Scotia to see Jack's station. Maybe I still will be able to do that. Jack called and worked me on 160 in January of 2013 - and I got his QSL card. In addition to the usual QSO data, Jack also hand wrote: 160m WAZ - 40 160m DXCC+ 333 #1 in Canada #2 in World What an accomplishment! Old age is unfriendly to us all, but I hope Jack hangs in there for a lot longer. 73, Paul, K7CW / VE7IB Mike, Coreen & Corey Keswick Ridge, NB _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
