A 150-day voyage from Toronto to Victoria, British Columbia, via the Northwest
Passage may be tracked via ham radio WSPR (Weak Signal Propagation
Reporter) signals. The trip, named Canada C3, is part of that nation's
celebration this year of its 150th anniversary. According to Southgate Amateur Radio News, the organizers allowed a team of hams led by Barrie Crampton, VE3BSB, to install a WSPR beacon on board the vessel, as part of a package of science experiments and research projects being carried out as the ship makes its way through the Arctic along the world's longest coastline.
