N6QEK "DXpedition" to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory for the ARRL RTTY Roundup in 2011

Thank you for visiting my website. I thoroughly enjoyed operating as N6QEK/VY1 from Whitehorse during the American Radio Relay League RTTY Round Up in 2010. I have already started planning to return to Whitehorse in 2011 for the RTTY Round Up. I intend to operate the days prior to and after the contest on telephony (SSB), RTTY and PSK 31. During the year (2010), I will see about getting my CW back up to speed and try to get some contacts in the log using Morse code. I will be on 80 through 10 meters, includng the WARC bands.

I would like to thank DX Engineering for their technical support for the 2010 edition of my DXpedition. Their technical expertise was very valuable as I was designing an antenna system that would transmit a strong signal from Whitehorse.

It is incredibly beautiful in the Yukon with the crisp, blue skies during the day and while I was there, an amazing bright full moon at night. The stars and the Milky Way are something else from that latitude and I was very fortunate to see the Northern Lights on the evening of 3 January at about 10:30 PM (0630 UTC). I only saw them that one night and I am very glad I did. The Northern Lights are eerie and at the same time spectacular to view.

73 and good DX!
