Oh Really Canada?!?

Had to go and break Ontario up into FOUR sections:  Ontario-East, Ontario-South, Greater Toronto Area, and the killer:  Ontario-North.

VE3 (Ontario) Section Map

As I type this, that is the LAST section I need for a clean sweep in the November CW Sweepstakes (and this is the first time Ontario has been broken into 4 sections).  I have 5.5 hours left to go and certainly the band conditions are great, so I have some hope, but as I understand it, less than 500,000 people live in that region, many in small villages.  I can only imagine the HUGE pile-up that will happen when the first Ontario-North is spotted.

With some research in spotting networks, I discovered that two stations were on the air for first couple of hours of the contest.  VE3ZI and VE3CX.  No other ONN stations were reported.

(Now with under 2 hours to go, still no ONN spotted — Sigh)
