I am emailing you directly to update you on an important meeting that took place this morning (May 27) with staff from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation in regards to Bill 118. This is the Bill that will make casual cell phone operation in moving vehicles illegal this fall. It could have a serious negative impact on amateur radio use of our mobile radios. Along with representatives from The Toronto FM Society and the Canadian Association of Rally Sport (which uses ham radio extensively) I presented our concerns to a large stakeholders meeting at the Ministry of Transportation in Toronto.

DXpeditions : October 2009 DXpedition to Sable Island
Looking forward to getting this rare one in my log! The planned dates are the 7th to the 14th of October 2009. According to N0TG, (Randy): "Formal authorization to access the island has been received and the team is actively preparing." (source: sgarc). I assume the group will be requesting a call sign soon, as I was not able to find one for this event.
