Another bonus to the mid-September dates that Mac suggested is school will be in session so less tourists, fall color will be out, and airfares should be cheaper.

Re: 14-19 October; I might be in Curacao, or elsewhere in the Caribbean, for that next week anyway (CQWWDX 10/24-25).

August 12-17 is out. Major NAQP team effort from TN is on the books already, this year and next.

All the other dates are likely OK but, like Joe, August can quickly turn into a “Family, etc." obligations period.

I’m thinking the?16 September – 21 September slot would work well. Extend it through the 25th or 26th maybe?

Lynn will definitely be in attendance as well as a ’non-operator’.

Right now only the?14 October – 19 October dates would not allow the longer period since the owner will be there?next.??

The standard fee is based on Wednesday arrival through Monday?departure (5 days) with $125 per operator for extra days, $500 a day.

Everett,

1) Right now my calendar is open on all of the suggested dates. But of course, it will not stay that way. Based on my experience with family, other hobbies etc I should avoid August. I think that mid-September to mid-October is probably the best for me.

2) I really want to go there for a week, not 4 days. Thus it might be best to select a timeframe that would allow that to happen. I'm assuming that the whole group would be interested in a week too. Or maybe 10 days would provide tourism and radio.

3) As I mentioned before, I have no interest in any specific contest but obviously contests put people on the air.?

4) Nancy thinks that she would like to go too.?

Gentlemen:

Let's begin discussing which week we'd like to reserve the PEI DX Lodge.

Our goal is a week that works for all four of us.? Be sure to post what DOES NOT WORK. How about giving your top three choices in the order of your preference??

My wife, Barbara, announced yesterday that she was planning on coming to PEI with us. That was a boost to my planning!? Any others?

Here are some late Summer/early Fall options. I list any Contests that fit into the dates. We don't have to make this about a contest. Some of the contests are only a single day...others a full weekend.

12 August – 17 August North American QSO Party, SSB

19 August – 24 August HI; OH QSO Party

26 August – 31 August

?

9 September – 14 September ? ? ? ? ARRL September VHF Contest

16 September – 21 September WA; NH; NJ QSO Party

23 September – 28 September CQ Worldwide DX Contest, RTTY

30 September – 5 October ? ? ? ? Oceania DX SSB/CA QSO Party

?

7 October – 12 October ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?PA; NV; AZ QSO Party

14 October – 19 October

Weatherwise, the average highs and lows for August, September, and October are as follows:

August Mid-70s High; Mid-50s, low 60s Low

September Mid-60 to Mid 70s High; Low 60s to Mid-50s Low

October Mid-50s to Low 60s High; Low 50s to high 30s Low

The best?foliage will be seen between mid-September and late-October.

Events on the Island include:
The ANNE OF GREEN GABLES MUSICAL runs July-September.

The PEI International Shellfish Festival (third weekend in September)

Evangeline Area Agricultural Exhibition and Acadian Festival (Last weekend in August)

Awaiting your responses...
