the Ontario QSO Party. This year the contest runs on the third full weekend 
of April - 1800Z April 18 to 0500Z April 19, and 1200Z to 1800Z April 19.

Following the Record level of participation last year 2009 should be just as 
much fun if not more. Now is the time to start thinking about mobile and 
portable operations as well as strategies for this years contest.
