Hi!

I'm still making progress moving up through Ontario along the 401 freeway. Most of Tuesday was spent around Toronto, either working passes in FN03 or FN04, or much of the morning and early afternoon on the FN03/FN04 grid line in Aurora (north of Toronto). Lots of QSOs, and a nice AO-91 QSO in the morning with Peter 2E0SQL in Scotland - my first satellite QSO with Scotland, and first transatlantic FM satellite QSO of any sort. Later in the afternoon, I had a chance to meet up with Adrian VA3NNA, and work some passes from the lakefront not far from his house in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough.

After the late-afternoon meeting with Adrian, and a bite to eat, it was back to the road. I drove up the 401 freeway from Toronto to the town of Trenton, in grid FN14. Trenton is near the Canadian Forces air base of the same name, and I worked a couple of passes (AO-92, SO-50) from outside my motel. With a couple of other rovers also on those passes, they were busy - busy, but fun. Grids were going out to operators all over the country.

I plan on sticking around FN14 in Ontario for Wednesday. With this late evening to get my logs updated, I won't start out too early in the morning. I plan on working passes from somewhere in this grid, possibly at a grid boundary yet to be determined. It is looking like I'll pass on making the drive all the way to either Montreal or Ottawa, so I can spend more time working from the rarely-heard grid FN14. I am planning on crossing back into the States on Thursday morning, which will wrap up this Canadian road trip.

As I mentioned, my logs should be up to date in Logbook of the World now. If you don't see a confirmation in there, please e-mail me directly. More updates will follow on my @WD9EWK Twitter feed (visible at http://twitter.com/WD9EWK ), and my travels should be visible on APRS as WD9EWK-9 (http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9 ).

73!
