		<description><![CDATA[Although I've been licensed since the early 1990s, I don't get on HF very often. This isn't due to a lack of interest in working HF, but rather because it's impractical for me to operate HF where I live. So, when I do get on HF, chances are it's either Field Day or I'm at the cottage...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Ottawa Sun is reporting that Jayhaed Saadé’s pirate radio station is off the air. It’s unclear what finally caused the plug to be pulled, just that he was being “forced to go off air”. Industry Canada’s threat of fines in the order of $5000/day probably played a role. I didn’t hear his last broadcast, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday’s Ottawa Sun had an update on the pirate radio station being run by Jayhaed Saadé out of his dad’s business in Greely. Apparently, Saadé Jr. was being interviewed by the reporter when he found himself served with a second cease and desist notice. “They’re telling me I have to take it down.
