I am a new operator, licensed since July 2010. It was Randy, N0TG, of the CY0 DXpedition, who made the suggestion that I give amateur radio a try – my thanks to him!
I work here on the island 5-6 days a week. I am not on the air 11-19z (12-20z once Canada switches from daylight savings to standard time) Mon-Fri, and sometimes Mon-Sat. I will do my best to operate at different times on the weekends so as many different areas as possible get an opportunity.
While I am a fan of the lower frequencies, there is a lightning hotspot south west of Sable Island. I am often affected by static crashes, especially on 80m.
