I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the 7000+ stations
who worked my good friend Jim, VA3MPG while on his 12 month Tour of Duty in
Haiti with the RCMP doing humanitarian and drug enforcement service.



He has landed back in Ontario and is quite happy to be home. Haiti is a
volatile and violent place.



We had our difficulties throughout it. With radio gear breaking and his
tech support being myself in Ontario. No parts available to Jim, and also
the difficulties of stuff...

On this episode, Christian reflects on the Thanksgiving break. Will his
passion for 75 meter phone reach a new level? Of course. Well go inside the

plans. Are you? All of this and more on this edition of 100 Watts and a
