Re: Signing protocol for Canada/USA
Yep, that is what I got from the RAC before (6/15/22). -"The provincial prefix should be appended as a suffix, after your identifying call sign. So in PE, you would identify as "WT4BT/VY2". You do not need to specify more precisely than the province or territory you will be operating in.
? ? ? ? ? Adam MacDonell, RAC Office Manager ? ? ? ? ? Radio Amateurs of Canada Incorporated ? ? ? ? ? 720 Belfast Road, Suite 217 Ottawa, ON K1G 0Z5 Tel: 613-244-4367- 1-877-273-8304”
So, you may have to correct any log entries/ADIF's from some softwares prior to submitting to LoTW or whatever. Just more work for the operator/log-keeper.

Interesting discussion about YS call sign use in Canada and visa versa. ?
Here is the best statement on it that I’ve seen:
”WSJT-X should also understand that CEPT rules do not recognize a suffix
- only a prefix (e.g. F/).
The only case I know where a suffix is used
is with the (ancient) USA-Canada treaty that specifies a suffix for
licensees of those two governments when operating in the other country.
"Prefix only except for USA/CA" is not a particularly difficult rule to

Re: APRIL 24 meeting REMINDER
I’ll be there but may be using the iPhone app if still on the road. Wasn’t supposed to be out and about but luncheon w/friend got rescheduled from last week. I may have to figure out how to mute/unmute the mic but I promise to have the video off so you don’t get scared or seasick by my driving.

The contest lodge of preference on Belize is/was the Maya Hill Lodge <>. But since the BARC <>?Club shack burned down in 2021? they have been in “recovery mode” trying to get equipment, etc. replaced. Would have to contact them directly to find out current status of operations. Maya Hill or one of the other, more seaside, lodges might still be the go-to locations. A couple oof nice ones on the near-shore cayes that seem to have good prices and amenities, though VERY laid back, might be the way to go. Radio from the porch, or hammock, or beach chair; snorkeling, diving, fishing, sunning and vegetating seem to be the daily chores. Maybe a boat ride out to one of the marine reserves (activate portable from the boat? Maybe)
Ev, this “Travel Zoo” sounds a tad expensive for a two-day in-country operation. But definitely comfy! Mac

Re: Proposed APRIL 24 Meeting
Ev, if you think it's appropriate, send the Belize resort link to the group. We may not go there but it helps keep our thoughts positive.
