Re: [IRCA] Autumn 2016 DXpeditions?



Mark, I usually go up to my cottage on Haida Gwaii in the Fall, but this
year I won't be attending until the first week to mid month in January,
2017.  When conditions are good, the DX can be open for 18 or more
hours/day, then.  From 4 - 12 November, a number of us will be in PEI for a
DXpedtion aiming for Europe and Africa.  Cheers!  Walt Salmaniw
