Re: Dates for September 2021
I dont’ have things planned that far ahead so a change is ok with me. I am still unsure how international travel will look at that time so keep my fingers crossed. All well in NZ with a new government for the next three years. ? ? Peter Moore ZL2HM ? ? ?

Re: Dates for September 2021
Wow! that puts us in for the WAE DX SSB Contest weekend. (grin) Sandwiches and coffee for 48 (or 36 if single op) hours! No conflicts on my calendar. Sounds AOK by me.

Re: CANADA US BORDER AFTER OCTOBER 21st
Canada has had a pretty safe time with COVID-19. That status is pretty fragile tho.

This sounds interesting, when they finally open up for tourism. "Seaview Sunrise
Affordable stay with beachfront bungalows on?Haad Rin beach,?Koh Phangan, Thailand.”
Covid may have finally put an end to the Full Moon parties which had devolved into drunken, drugged madhouses leaving the beaches a mess. Thailand, when they reopen, wants to aim towards more eco-tourism and “medical” (think healthy resorts,etc.) and fewer numbers.

Thanks for the updating Ev.
I wonder how Canada will be handling “new Citizen transplants” from the US if November goes dangerously ;~}.
Not that I relish the cold(er) weather but…
Peter, I envy you your ’travelling’. We, Lynn and I, are trying to figure how we can find some beachfront time away along the Gulf of Mexico for a week or two, but Hurricane Sally has created a problem with that for us. We may have to go east instead to the Atlantic shores if we can find a safe locale.
73 all,

Thanks Peter,
Yes it seems like one thing after another. The Portland area Air Quality Index is in the red zone (Hazardous) for days. So no outside activities and my dogs are bored to death, but I can't excise them now. I'm packing up our little RV and we are off to the coast tomorrow morning. Air quality is much better there.Our lady friends in Fort Klammath are in a tough spot. We communicated on Sept 12 and a fire was only about 2 miles from their motel. No reply from them since then. Okay, enough whimpering from me.

Two day old post regarding the current closure through September 21st.
A group of Canadian mayors from cities located near the U.S.-Canada border are calling for the federal government to continue prohibiting non-essential travel between the two countries.

This week, the group of mayors met in an online video conference with Canada’s Public Safety Minister Bill Balir, according to a story by CTV.

“We really need to have it closed until at least the end of the year and then make an assessment, Sarnia, Ontario, Mayor Mike Bradley told CTV. “We need to see what’s happening with COVID in this province with the schools opening and people being in closer quarters, and we also need to watch what’s happening without American partners across the river.”

We'd be on Prince Edward Island if the COVID-19 cooperated. Now...we're resetting the countdown to 15 September 2021.
I hope you're all safe. Barbara is improving physically, but some issues remain on the cognitive front. We're going to head out to northern Utah for some Fall Color next week for 9 days.

I will probably be doing a park battery/solar oeration somewhere relatively local, but not sure exactly where yet.
A few club members are champing to do a scaled-down event, but no real consensus as to how & where. And I don’t think I’m ready to play with groups who, for the most part, are “mask-intolerant” or otherwise “let’s get back to normal”.

Firstly I was a bit late and then zoom wanted to do an update. All is well though. So I will have to wait another year to get to VY land. That is fine by me. It will be interesting to see how international travel develops over the next months. In the meantime keep safe and well all of you. ? ? Peter Moore ZL2HM ? ? ?
