AFTER ATLANTIC XING; GIVEN MONCTON CENTER TO CONTACT AT YDP. DUE TO POOR RADIO RECEPTION; ABLE TO GET MONCTON AFTER 5 MINS PAST YDP. CTLR APOLOGIZED FOR HIS RADIO PROBS AND READ CLRNC: YDP; YKL; BADDY; HANDA; MT; FPR. WE READ CLRNC BACK TWICE TO CONFIRM ROUTING SINCE RECEPTION WAS WEAK. MONCTON CONFIRMED READBACK WAS CORRECT. AT YKL; POS RPT WAS MADE (ALT; TIME; ESTIMATE TO BADDY; AND HANDA NEXT). MONCTON ACKNOWLEDGED RPT AND GAVE FREQ FOR MONTREAL TO CONTACT THEM IN 3 MINS. MONTREAL CONTACTED AND GIVEN ESTIMATE TO BADDY AND ALT. MONTREAL ACKNOWLEDGED. OVER BADDY CAPT MADE POS RPT TO MONTREAL. SHORTLY THEREAFTER; MONTREAL ASKED FOR IDENT AND WE COMPLIED. CENTER SAID; 'I SHOW YOU 55 MI OFF COURSE.' CAPT REPLIED; 'I SHOW US ON COURSE.' CENTER THEN SAID; 'OH; YOU ARE OVER BADDY INSTEAD OF BANNE.' UP TO THIS POINT NEITHER CAPT NOR F/O HAD SEEN BANNE ON THE MAP. WE FOUND BANNE APPROX 55 MI E OF BADDY. CENTER CLRED US DIRECT CHIBOUGAMAN (MT) AND NOTHING MORE WAS SAID. FOLLOW UP: AFTER CLRNC RECEIVED PRIOR TO XDP; F/O ENTERED COORDINATES PER CAPT READOUT. CAPT VISUALLY AND ORALLY CONFIRMED COORDINATES AFTER BADDY AND HANDA ENTERED BY F/O.
