This is going to be a very busy weekend.

I have identified 19 candidate passes just for Saturday night May 20th when I arrive in Chibougamau. I'll activate FN29 from 1903 through to 0300. Don't be too disappointed if I start late or quit early due to exhaustion!

-- On Sunday May 21st I will start at the FN29/39 boundary at 1045 UTC and hope to be on for 11 passes that conclude at 1326.

-- From there, I move to the FO20/30 boundary, where I have 8 passes lined up from 1446 to 2144 UTC.

-- Finally, I will sit on the FO20/FN29 boundary for 9 passes from 2227 until 0430.

Schedules as follows:

I will spend the night in Amos QC (FN08) on my way up, and in New Liskeard ON (FN07) on my trip home. Let me know if you need either of these grids and we will set something up for the evenings.

Also note that I will also be passing through FN05, FN06, FN18 and FN19 on the way up on Friday/Saturday, and on my way home on Monday/Tuesday. Get in touch with me if you need any of these grids. I can give you an estimate of when I should be passing through areas where I know I can set up. I would prefer it if you would do the calculations and send me a short list of proposed passes. I have a busy week ahead of me and don't have a lot of time to sit at my computer and go through "what-ifs". These will be quick stop-and-go activations. I'm not waiting around. That said, those of you who have worked with me before know that I am very accommodating!

Finally, follow me on Twitter at @ve3hls for last minute changes and updates.
