73 from the Jamboree!
We were on the air from beautiful Camp Nedooae in
Elderbank, Nova Scotia from July 8th through 15th! Thousands of youth and volunteers enjoyed a great jamboree and many had their first introduction to Amateur Radio in the radio tent.
QSL cards from the Jamboree will be sent in the coming weeks via the usual bureaus.

| 20m | USB | 14.290 MHz |
| 17m | USB | 18.140 MHz |
