Worked some HF today too. Talked to w7sac in Fort Walton Beach from about 25 miles west of Edmonton, Alberta. Been on 14.245MHz and talked to a few others too. HF signals were nothing but static in the Yukon and further north but now were getting BIG signals in from all over the place. Today was a medium run of about 450 miles. Tomorrows is a little longer, a little over 600 miles. Will end up in Billings tomorrow.
Apparently the working age here is 14… we asked the manager at an A&W where we went for a soft serve Ice Cream… He said in Northern British Columbia there’s a labor shortage… a TEN YEAR OLD rang our order up.
Didn’t see a lot of wildlife today… Nan saw a deer… We saw a lot of mythical moose crossing signs… We went to the West Edmonton Mall to check it out… it has an indoor water park, a miniature golf course, a grocery store, an 8 or 12 (can’t remember which) screen multiplex theater. There was a LOT of stuff to do there… oh there was a casino too!
Anyway, there wasn’t a lot of interesting stuff to take pictures of today, still we managed to shoot 119 stills… Here are a few…
