  • Canada Day

    From Ian McLaughlin@21:1/133 to All on Mon Jul 1 08:57:35 2019
    Hello All,

    Today is Canada Day (July 1st) - a celebration of Canada's 152nd birthday.

    I am currently participating in the RAC Canada Day contest, which goes from 00:00 UTC to 23:39 UTC July 1 - as of this posting, there's still 8 hours
    left.

    If any of you are on HF, why not listen out for any Canadians working the contest, and give them a point or two :) I'm operating under our club call VE7OGO.

    Good luck. :)

    Probably a bit optimistic this side of the world, especially since I don't have an antenna up (that's on the todo list). :)

    Step one of good propagation - have an actual antenna :)

    Happy belated Canada Day! A couple of years ago I traveled through Ontario only to realize I was there during their 150th celebration Summer. I
    thought that was a pretty neat time to be there. :)

    Oddly enough, that works. Dunno why. ;)
