Re: PEI Updates - Covid and Weather
I believe that he was on PEI for two weeks before testing positive?

Where he "got it" was probably on the airplane or in the departure airport (IMHO) if he left on the Tuesday or Wednesday before. They seem to be giving the Omicron strain an incubation period of about 3 days (from infection to symptoms) which is a bit shorter/faster than the original (~5.6 days). So, unless he was on-island for a week or so, he brought it in himself. Probably will not affect our travel plans unless Lynn's next med. appt's (tomorrow) cast a shadow things. Tally-Ho! Mac

Re: PEI Updates - Covid and Weather
Hi Ev, thanks for the update.? Nancy read that 80 people died in Oregon during the last 10 days! ?. I'll see what Nancy's opinion is later today. Wonder if Ken brought it in, or if he picked up in PEI.

Ken K6LA is at the DX Lodge currently. He participated in the IOTA contest this past weekend. He had good conditions.
Ken tested positive for Covid on Friday (before the contest). Two other hams who were there until Thursday are testing negative. Ken is quarantining at DX Lodge until this Friday, then with negative test will be headed back to LA.
Ken will refund any of us who wish to cancel.? Please let me know by Thursday this week if you decide to cancel. I promised Ken I would be in touch before he leaves on the coming weekend.
I am not concerned and will continue my trip plan.? Covid is not passed on surfaces and significant time will have elapsed before our arrival.
And, the adventure continues…

Prince Edward Island is named after Queen Victoria’s father, Prince Edward who lived in Nova Scotia in the 1790s. He is the current Queen’s great-great-great grandfather.?

Re: US Call Sign Use at PEI
Nancy and I drink dark, black coffee.
I enjoy a glass of milk abd it used to be 2% but when Freddy's was out of 2% I tried whole milk and I had forgotten how tasty it was. Since then I drink whole milk. Nancy is allergic to milk.?
So no worries about milk for either of us.?

Re: US Call Sign Use at PEI
Ev, I encountered the same problems. Even went so far as to contact the “Help? Desk”. He wanted to tap into my computer to see what was going on (I told him ”that is not happening”. I had tried to add it as a “New Entity” for DXCC purposes but it kept wanting other verification or something.
I wound up just adding the new callsign under my main call. Went through inside 24 hrs. I told Bart Jahnke (from LoTW) that I would handle any DXCC problems and/or uploads manually.
Got the TQ6 and installed on both logging computers AOK.

in the other country. Also, usually, Canadian and US hams suffix
their callsign, not prefix them as is usually done. For example,
VE5STX operating in North Dakota would be VE5STX/W0; WB0STX operating in
Saskatchewan would be WB0STX/VE5."–?

Re: US Call Sign Use at PEI
Out from under the thunderheads for a bit, more expected later today.
2nd grocery discussion at Lodge OK by me. Ev, what “strength" of milk are you planning on getting? Lyn needs/prefers flat-free or 1% (max). If you are getting stronger stuff, we can pick up a bit of the low-test on our way in. Any coffee is AOK also as long as it does not have “additional flavoring” ;>). I may be old-fashioned but "Hot and Black” is about all I can handle.

I thought I'd pick up milk, bread, butter, coffee...etc enroute. With seven of us, face-to-face decisions about our second grocery run would likely be easier.
