One day I will root around in my attic and install something interesting. I
built a di-slinky dipole (wound helix) which I just tested. I always test
during contests, so all of my antennas get 59 reports. Just talked to a N1
station (New Hampshire).

Well, Kingston has an IRLP link on KBR. I could call in sometime, if you
have a habit of listening to it. With my current setup, I just don't have
the range to hit it directly from East Ottawa.
