I'd say...

> From Burnt River ON sunset skip started when I had a late luch at 2:30, with 
Maine and the rest of New England blasting in. 1280 Gardiner ME and 1230 CT 
(the Spanish station there) both new, some nice relogs.

Veered to the sw and I netted Oakland NJ, on my target list for awhile, and 
some relogs from NJ area I don't hear often. WOKV 690 FL popped in, and then 
it was strong to the nw, with MN WI MI and MB. Nothing new up that way but 
one of best sigs ever to 730 Dauphin MB, and KTOE 1420 Mankato MN. 1100 
Dilworth mixing evenly early on with WTAM 1100.

Evening seems slow but now that I've read the e-mail from the NS DXer 
(below) I'll check eastwards and see if I can nab Nova Scotia and the 
Maritimes. I did a TA scan and neted good sigs out of Algeriaon 531, 549, 
and some other stuff, mkostly good hets. Too bad I have to leave tomorrow (I 
was going to go home on Wednesday morning but want to beat the coming 
snowstorm).

I relaid a wire on the ice almost due west. It's about 400 feet and it 
rocks. Non-directional, just sitting on the ice. I did that on foot but 
after seeing an open spot on otherwise thick enough ice I went out on skis 
today to spread my weight a bit a, when I checked it (for damage from 
snowmobiles). It's generally only a problem on weekends. If any of you do 
use ice on lakes this way, play it safe. Go on skis, test the ice for 
thickness every so often, and take something that you can use to grab into 
the ice to pull yourself out; and if you do fall in flutter-kick like a seal 
to help get out.
