What Does one do before a Museum?

[DavePEI]

Back in 1986, when the museum was just a dream, much of my spare time was taken up by Ham Radio Contesting. We had a contest group which met here bi-annually to take part in the CQ WW contest and CQ WPX Contests, the Prince Edward Island DX Contest Assn., cllsign VY2CA. Today, I came across a video of one of our efforts, and have posted it to You-Tube:

While not one of the top players, we did manage to wind up in second place one year, and it was a heck of a lot of fun. We set up in one of my barns and ran several multi-op stations. The stations were manned for the full 48 hours of the contests.

Part of the video show the two towers and antennas which came down through the roof of what is now the museum during Hurricane Juan.
