Canada-US Border Closed
Effective today, no termination date set yet. I will keep a watch on this.
Everett Canada and the U.S. are closing their border to most travelers for an indefinite period in the hopes of fighting the spread of the COVID-19 virus. American president Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau agreed on Wednesday morning to bar travellers crossing the world¡¯s longest land border for ¡°recreation and tourism¡± purposes. |
Peter Moore update and our status
I had a nice email chat with Peter, who is in a semi-lockdown mode. The NZ Prime Minister has placed registrations on the country that greatly restricts activities. However Peter noted that golf was still ok. Based on these restrictions and how covid19 is spreading around the world, he is holding back on buying airline tickets for several months. (I think that's a good idea.? Joe) Nancy and I are sequestering ourselves as a precaution. I'm getting a bit of cabin fever. Oregon's responses now includes school closures through April 28 and requests to voluntarily stay at home. All restaurants are closed except for drive through or curb service. Casinos are closed. Movie theaters are closed.? I watch some TV but no sports to enjoy. I never realized how much I enjoyed sporting events until they are now all canceled. Reading a lot. We have three medical doctors in our neighborhood and they are having difficult times. One is an anesthesiologist who rented an apartment to live in after being at the hospital. She doesn't want to carry any potential coronavirus problems home.? My sports car and ham radio hobbies are essentially shut down. All sports car events have been canceled thru April. Ham radio club meetings are canceled. The big DX Convention in Visalia has been canceled.? I like Mac's idea of staying in St. Lucia and to go to PEI from our Chateaux. Good thinking my friend.? Mac how are things in Tennessee? Are you and Lynne staying home?

Re: Tomorrow's Phone Conference Cancelled
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýOK Ev.I¡¯ll be ¡®phone-free¡¯ then! I might have to make plans to ¡°self-quarantine¡± at Chateau Devaux for the foreseeable future. I figure a couple of months there, and then it should be safe to travel to PEI and the Maritimes. Mac/wt4bt

PEI Grid Squares
Joe asked if there were multiple Maidenhead Grid Squares on Prince Edward Island. Yes, there are four grid squares that touch on the island: FN76 (North); FN86 (South): FN87 (Far North); FN85 (Far South).? The FN87 square touches the far north end of the island.? The FN87 square does the same across the bottom of the island.? The DX Lodge is in FN76vs, which includes the northern section of the island and a lot of New Brunswick. There are many locations to attempt satellite ops while at PEI.
