@nationalnewswatch.com has a mistake on their site, claiming that a story on the federal workforce is a "CTV News" piece, but the link actually goes to a paywalled Globe and Mail article on an entirely different topic.

Last night's Aurora was not the best I have seen, but managed to get a few long-exposure pictures. More impressive was what it was doing to low band radio propagation, like the AM broadcast band. #hamradio

In addition to traveling to NB to view the 8 April 2024 eclipse personally, I also made a complete spectrum recording of the MW broadcast band from my home station and shared it with the HamSCI research project. Some of this has now been posted!

Yesterday I was privileged to operate the special events station PX100IARU here at the Region 2 General Assembly in Salvador, Brazil. The most fun contact was with VY2PC back home on PEI, during a 10 Meter SSB opening. Then the crew took me and Rod Stafford W6ROD out for some lunch! #hamradio #IARU

And @radioamateursrac.bsky.social is here in full strength, with me the VP as well as several IARU officers who happen to be Canadian.
The IARU General Assembly is under way, and we're already into some interesting discussions on spectrum defence, common interests, and forging good relationships.

I'm putting the finishing touches on my talk for Friday night's fundraiser for the Cape Bear Lighthouse and Marconi Station. I'm going to spread the word about what a great location eastern PEI is for radio!
