At long last Industry Canada has authorized Canadian amateurs to begin using the 60m band effective immediately. Frequencies and modes correspond to the USA allocation.

Cool! What frequencies were you allowed previously?

there is a group of us that use 60 meters @ QRP power and follow the greyline almost everyday.

ummmm...... on 60m?? None other than a few stations that held special VX9 experimental licenses. That's why I said we finally got authorization to start using them.
