..true 56 signal!!

bands from 3 grids and VE3XK Doug on 6 bands from at
last 2 grids.

- Working K1TOL (FN44) on 6m from FN14

- Giving MANY "new grids"...FN16, FN14, FN24 and FN26 are in demand!

- Working K1OW/R (FN23) on 4 bands from FN14

- Finding a GREAT burger joint on HWY 105 in Quebec
(email for coordinates ;-)

- GREAT 144 and 222 QSO's with VE3AX from
4 several grids (his 222 setup was LOUD!!)

- Best DX I think was K3EAR (FM19) from FN14
