| 1 | VE3DN | Eric | 20-29 Deg F | Single Op Field | |  | 40 | 21 | 0 | 33600 | It was sunny but cold here in Ottawa -22F with the windchill. I did not have the courage to go out early in the morning. I went to a POTA park and operated inside my car with QCX Mini (20M) and a hamstick antenna - about 3W or less. Temp inside the car was 23F - hand warmers helped a lot but my feet was cold by the end of one 1hr operation. 40 QSOs and 21 States. 72 Eric VE3DN |
| 2 | NN5DE | Dave | 40-49 Deg F | Single Op Field | | | 38 | 19 | 0 | 17328 | Not one FYBO contacted with many CQs, all S&P and CW. So thanks to the MNqp, BCqp, VTqp,POTA and FOC contacts. Started at 45 degs and finished at 71 on the back patio. Used a new IC 7300 MK2 and doing a lot of familiarization. Challenger vertical tuned for 20 M but was able to use it on 4 bands. Started with LFP batteries and finished with Lead Acid ones |
| 3 | N5GW | Gene | 40-49 Deg F | Single Op Field | | | 20 | 13 | 0 | 12480 | By midday it had warmed up to short sleeve shirt wx (60F), spoiling the freezer theme. But then I was able to tolerate staying outdoors! Unfortunately I never heard any other FYBO ops. Worse still, since the sunny wx was so nice, I became involved in other activities such as planting my veggie garden! |

| 5 | VE3FI | Bill | <20 Deg F | Single Op Field | | | 15 | 9 | 0 | 6480 | Today was about as cold as I could take operating outdoors, it was -7.8F, but felt like -25.6F with the windchill. Bands were in good shape, I operated SSB on 10m and 15m and enjoyed myself, it was nice to get outside. |
