By the way; when in Toronto, be sure to stop in and visit "The Shack" a.k.a. VE3OSC at the Ontario Science Centre. Besides being a world-class, hands-on science museum, it is the home of a really great bunch of volunteers who operate the ham station. "Normal" operating times are 1100-1500ET but odds are that someone will be there earlier and/or later.
