2017 Island QSO Party Results

Here's the link to this years results for the W/VE Island QSO Party Results....click HERE.

It was nice to see a good increase in the number of Canadian logs submitted......even if it was only 5 of them, its still more than last year.  Hopefully we can keep this trend going!!

It would be great to see some participation from the East & West Coasts, all the submissions came from Ontario and Quebec.  Hmmm.......maybe a DXpedition is in the future to a lonely island off one of the coasts.

Congratulations to the winners and runners up!!

Another one for the Island QSO Party

John, VE3ISE, plans to activate Henley Island ON-007, Grid FN03ie, on Aug 26 weekend weather permitting.

He will be operating mobile on 20 and 40 meters, using Hustler antenna running 100 watts SSB

Timing for John will be 1600Z to 2000Z  using the call sign CG3ISE.

If the island is busy and he is unable to set up there, he will move to another island on the Niagara peninsula (secondary island to be determined later).
