Seeing as I plan to operate in the RAC Canada Day Contest as well as get some family stuff into play I am posting this just before the contest starts
I hope to work you in the Canada Day Contest and I will be operating from home on 2m to 160m and the rig will be the Yaesu FT 450 along with my S9 Vertical. I will be using my FT897 and the home brewed Delta Loop for the VHF bands
The rest of today will be spent making sure the batteries for the 817 are charged and that the BBQ Tanks are filled and that the Canada Day Contest Software is installed on the Netbook. If I manage any “Rare Contacts” I will be updating the blog with my brag list…
This is being posted a little early but later tonight time will be a factor with family, the BBQ and the Canada Day Contest all demanding my time… and I can only be in one place at one time…

Happy Birthday Canada
And with many more to come
Canada’s Sport is Hockey…
Canada’s symbol is the Maple Leaf…
Its on our Flag…

And as you can see its just about everywhere…
Canada’s Nationial Animal is the “Beaver”…

So in honour (not honor) of the Birthday of Canada, our national holiday please excuse me for making a non amateur radio related post today when I say…
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA”
Happy Birthday Canada from a Proud Canadian…
