[PEI 2025] Dates


 

Gentlemen

We are booked for?July 23-August 4, 2025?dates at PEI DX Lodge.? Currently, we have officially committed to three hams (Joe; Mac; Ev).?Ken understands that we will add Peter if he can join us.

Our deposit will be in Ken’s hand on December 1.

I inquired about the Six Meter beam. Ken is confirming its status for us.

The International ISLANDS IN THE AIR from PEI is in our hands for 2025.

Counting down the days…

Went down the rabbit-hole and here are some items to ponder upon (no rush on these as we have some months to get squared away):

2024 had NO operations on PE.

2023 had three Single Operator operations (there were no Multi-single or Multi-two entries):?
VY2TT (K6LA) winning the, HP, Unassisted, Mixed Mode category with 2405 Q’s
VY2OX 51st place, HP, Unassisted, CW-only with 373 Q’s
VY2/W4JKL (now SK), 370th Place, LP, Unassisted, Mixed Mode with 4 Q’s

No QRP operations found from PE.

Now on to the questions:
-How much effort would any of us want to expend?
-Full 24 hours from the Lodge at high power?
-Multi-2 (2 radios can CQ) , Multi-1 (only 1 radio can CQ, other radio for multipliers only) or Single Op? Use the VY2TT callsign? (only if we put forth a max effort, IMHO)
-Two, or more, operators using their own callsigns as Single Operator with their chosen power output and time (24 or 12 hours) and work up a band-and-times plan?
-Pick a park bench and operate the 12 hour category during daylight hours. For whatever on-air time one would want. Need to return to the same location, from what I can tell, for consecutive operations. I can try to get clarification on this later.

Enough of this! Got to go play with the electricity some more.

I like this one:
-Two, or more, operators using their own callsigns as Single Operator with their chosen power output and time (24 or 12 hours) and work up a band-and-times plan?

We won’t use VY2TT unless Ken asks us to…ie to keep it active in the IOTA.? Besides, I like the idea of W6ABM/VY2 being in that contest from PEI.

Room in the rabbit hole for more than one (;-)
