The US North East SSB net is now operating daily at 0730 EDT (0830 Atlantic time in Nova Scotia) on 4045 kHz USB. We aim to cover the area from Cape Cod to Newfoundland. I 'm broadcasting from a marina environment in Nova Scotia, which is not ideal in terms of interference, but we have had good propogation into Penobscot Bay. So far only 2 participants each day, so for you SSB fundis there 's now a reason for you to get out of bed and join in!

John,
For 1-more year, free time is the bane of the working guy (me). 40-years ago I drove throughout Nova Scotia as my Father 's folks were born in Hailfax & Guysborough County. 2014 is just a boat familiarization sail and a tune-up for the ARC-Europe crossing, as my wife has only done 2-overnights.
I 'll be wintering nearby in MD/VA prior to the early May ARC-Europe departure. I think that it will not be before 2019 that I get back to seriously explore Nova Scotia & beyond. I certainly will get back to you in February as I firm up my plans THANKS!!
:)
