PEI Updates - Covid and Weather


 

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…

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.

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.

I believe that he was on PEI for two weeks before testing positive?

Ev and PEI Team,?

Nancy and I have talked about the situation and we will press on with group.?

Several suggestions. We all should pack some 15 minute test kits as well as some KN95 masks.

Each of us will depart in one of two ways. Peter by air, and Ev, Mac, Joe by car. The exit Canada and USA entry requirements should be reviewed. I know that Ev has knowledge of them.?

Lastly we should make a tentative plan on how to address the issues if one of us comes down with the virus. Ken may have a strategy that he will share with us.

Cheers to all, Joe and Nancy?

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.
