******* Starting November 1 of 2009: QSL MANAGER is now VE2AWR *******

Hi,

VO2 Zone Two callsign was issued just-in-time by Industry Canada on January 9th, 2003 few days before first operation. Many thanks to the Spectrum Manage crew who works in Ottawa.

First time used during DXpedition to Labrador City, Labrador in Zone 2. Transmissions were made from VO2WL Radio Club Station between January 13th and 17th 2003. Special credits to the President of the club, Nazaire Simon VO2NS, for his great support.

Please, QSL card via LogBook of the World at http://www.arrl.org/lotw/, there is also an eQSL card available at http://www.eqsl.cc .The paper card is via VE2AWR direct or bureau, tnx. Many many thanks to the 2615 hams from all around the World who were logged in my logbook during 2003 DXpedition. Please note that my partners (Gérald VE2ACP & Gervais VE2UE) worked 1525 stations with VO2UE callsign for a nice total of 4140 QSOs during this five days event.

Second Zone 2 DXpedition scheduled from march 25 to 30 2005, but was extended until april 11th 2005 due to very poor propagation. Tnx to the 2333 stations logged with Logger32 during this second DXpedition. TX was from VO2WL (Labrador City, NL) and from VE2ACP home (Fermont, Qc), both in CQ Zone 2. More info and pictures available here: http://www.qsl.net/ve2tkh/2005.htm
