Thank you all who QSO'd me during my recent trip to FP77/87 land (Qikiqtarjuaq, NU). I just realized my TQSL certificate has expired so I'm waiting for a new one. I'll start inputting the logs soon as I get them (new two in order to log mobile QSOs). 73 to all.

On the way to Iqaluit, NU. Quick layover with final destination in Qikiqtarjuaq. Starting tomorrow I should be operational from FP77/FP87 grids on both FM and linear birds (if equipment I shipped previously has arrived in one piece).

Hi everyone.I’m finally able to “access” local airport’s wifi. First off, many thanks to John @ve1cwj for spreading the word. Thanks to all for all the QSOs. I’m in EO74 till Friday noon and will try to get on as many AO91, SO50, PO101 and ISS passes as I can. CU on the birds!

If my fingertips can handle the cold, I'll try to work next two SO-50 passes (2336z and 0131z) from EO65/66 gridline. Have a listen if you're around. .

2) Plan is to drive up from Toronto to Timmins on the 16th, hitting as many grids as I can along the way. Flying out of YTS on the 17th at which point I'll see if I can get John @ve1cwj to relay my progress and planned activities.

1) Little bit of heads up. April 16 I will be making quite possibly my last trip into Northern Ontario. Planning to visit ultra rare EO65/66 (Fort Severn), EO82 (Attawapiskat), EO92 (Fort Albany) and EO75 (Peawanuck). Planning to be active on FM birds only. .
