Hi, Keith here in Amherst, NY
MY wife, Anne, is WB1GVL. She has not been active for quite awhile but
helped monitor for beacons while we were driving around Western NY
yesterday. Her code speed is not great, but she still remembers her CW
from taking her test some 30 years ago. BY the end of the afternoon she
was copying about 30% of what we were hearing.
This list is from her notes, the times were between 1400Z and 2230Z
while we were running about. Reception was from Erie and Niagara
Counties here in NY. We were visiting farm stands and nurseries for the
pantry and garden, the ham radio was a secondary task, really!
Got 40 logged, the list is in no particular order during the day.
Heard between 1400Z and 2230Z on 27 June from the mobile:

We picked up VA3SRC while crossing the Niagara Escarpment, we could see
across the lake and see the skyline of downtown Toronto. I would have
to say it was line of site, hi. K*TK was a surprise, new in the log and
only 250 miles, it sounded like a long meteor scatter signal.
If I can keep Anne working on improving her copying skills, I just might
get her sown here in the shack to log a few, Hi!
