Hi Paul,
Glad to get the contacts I did on Sunday and Monday but sorry about Saturday missing Buck’s Lake and Douglas Point CP. May be the SE activators might fire up in these two locations? I was too busy and out for most of the day.
It looks like the weather was a bit better than usual for the SE at this time of the year and you both did very well with the number of contacts.
Cheers

Hi John,
It was a great trip. I love the South East. The SERG Convention is on my list of things to attend each year. I particularly like the Sunday night dinner. And yes, weather conditions were pretty kind to us.
