Well, I figured out the two issues I was having radio wise. I could receive fine all day long, but transmitting was an issue.
1 - Not a good idea to park under the 230 kV line. A quick look at the map told me that's where the checkpoint was. Not so - it was supposed to be a little further upstream, in the shade and away from the hydro lines.
Comms were fine when I set up, but got bad once the juice started flowing. The IESO site says output from the dam in Mattawa was:
8am - 7 MW
