Hi Everyone,
We leave for Nova Scotia tomorrow morning. I've put together the following schedule of when I will be available. You will note that I am working through SO-50 only. I may try to get on some AO-85 passes but keep in mind I've had the radio for less than a week and am still learning how to use it.
Anyway, this is what I have planned. I don't know how to which passes I will be on so I will simply tell you when my local AOS time is. I hope that's clear enough. If there's a better way to describe them I'd be happy if you let me know.
All times are UTC.

I'll do my best to stick to this schedule. Please note that some of these times are the middle of the night or very early in the morning for me and I am neither a night owl nor a "morning person". No flames please if you don't hear me:-)
I will be very close to FN95 and FN96 and may use one or more of the above passes to activate them. We do have to drive in to Sydney to get our groceries anyway! Finally, I'm running 5 watts into an Arrow 146/437 handheld yagi. I don't know how strong I'll be. Keep your ears open!
73,
