[CQ-Contest] 1 & 2 land / VE damage reports

[Vernon Erle Ikeda]

  Maybe I should have done a better job elaborating in my
last reply, there are many Hydro power pole/towers down and
at least one local AM broadcast station that lost all
four towers (CJAD 800).  As for amateurs, no idea just yet.

  There was a report that a cell phone tower came down just
off the island of Montreal but no actual confirmation
as of yet.

  As I said before, many thanks to those that helped out.
