Pardon my ignorance but what privilages does a 2e0 give you ? I don't have me latest Canadian Regs book here I'll see what I can find out for you. 73

all hf, vhf and uhf, sats, and up to 50w of power

Simon Legree

OK. Only 50 watts. The legal limit for Advanced Class, which ticket I hold, in North America is 1,000 watts. I'll check for you when I get back. I run an Icom 706 Mk II G down here and mobile with a Screwdriver antenna. In N.S. it's Kenwood 950 DX into an Alpha 87 and and an Explorer 14. Where abouts in Canada are you intending to settle. I'll have a look to see if I can find you some contacts. 73
