The crate with the radio gear is loaded and waiting by the front door…
My suitcase is waiting by the front door….
And yes… my Coffee Maker is in the crate with the radio toys…
Its the calm before the storm as I will be leaving Ottawa around 1400 to arrive at 1600 and get the Net Control Station on the Air hopefully by 1800 to start the talk in for the other radio ops who will be providing communications this weekend on the Canadian Ski Marathon…
I know I do have internet at the Net Control so there is a good chance I will be updating the blog with some interesting tidbits as time allows and also will be tweeting with the same time constraints…
Thanks to the 50+ Amateur Radio Operators who give up their weekend or parts of their weekend to provide this service to the communities as well as showcase our hobby to the world….

Above Map showing Buckingham area, Montebello area and the Lachute area for the weather areas listed above the map
Please remember that the Marathon does not follow the highway so the above map just shows the approximate start and finish. The route it actually takes is much north of the main roads and travels along farmers fields and snowmobile trails etc. Actual trail maps are available on the CSM Website which was mentioned earlier in this post…
Not to mention its fun to prove your toys work…
