I “might” take a stab at the “Walk for the Bacon, QRP ’test’ (Wednesday 9PM-10PM ADT) if I feel strong and awake. 11 to midnight Thursday is a stretch. Maybe try the FISTS Sunday sprint but the speed will probably be more than I can handle/copy.
For the ILLW event I will probably just play part time from the field at a lighthouse somewhere. Not sure which one (or two) yet, but probably one on the southern coast. Probably do a swing by to say “Hello" at the VY2PLH event.
For the NAQP I may operate from the field as a QRP station since it runs during the ILLW event.
The other events (Hawaii, Kansas, Ohio QSO Parties and W/VE Islands), who knows. Depends on WX and whether I want power or am happy with QRP.
All the above may be influenced by the desires of the ‘ladies in the house’ as well.
I will have a semi-final list of my kit out shortly. Mac
Mac and Joe have opened a conversation about contests.
Here are contests during our stay at PEI DX LODGE. I put in bold those that look interesting.? Any you'd like to bold?
Which of these (all of them, not just bold) are you interested in going after?

Re: Contests For Consideration
Well as mentioned before, the only contest that I'm interested in is the Lightship and Lighthouse weekend with a goal of contacting the Lightship Columbia.? I'm an operator on it and home to work the ship from the opposite coast.?
I'm mostly interested in Field ops and satellite communications, assuming that Ev will again try to educate me. ?
This evening I'm laying out my radio gear. Just the KX2 and associated stuff. It presently looks like more that I had imagined. More on that topic later.

Re: PEI Updates - Covid and Weather
Well things change quite quickly don’t they. The general opinion is that Covid is very seldom transferred via surfaces, and doesn’t last long outside a host anyway. I am still on track to arrive in PEI on Aug 16 at 17.37 (AC 1706 from Toronto. I had a dose of covid about 3 weeks ago but am back to normal now. I will be following the same convention with VY2 as a suffix. I am starting to get somewhat excited about this latest adventure but haven’t packed the bags yet. ? ? Nga mihi ?

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

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.
