NICE REPLY - Its just that a proper qso to me means door to door on the
appropriate band, in this case LF 136 khz and not via vhf/uhf links, repeaters
etc, also a qso must take place at one session and not in bits and pieces over
several days or weeks or years.
I am glad you have clarified your position otherwise had I worked you I would
have been disappointed to find that you used various vhf/uhf routes and I would
not CLAIM a qso.
Are there any other radio amateurs in Canada or do you have a friend that I
could work ???
