Covid isolation
3
This is the current CDC recommendation on isolation with Covid symptoms: ¡° How long should I self-isolate for COVID-19 per the CDC? You can leave isolation after 5 full days. If you continue to have no symptoms, you can end isolation after at least 5 days. You should continue to wear a well-fitting mask around others at home and in public until day 10 (day 6 through day 10).-- Everett Curry W6ABM Treasurer, SEA-PAC? 2022 Committee Assistant Section Manager/Oregon ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio?

US Call Sign Use at PEI
8
Gentlemen I asked the question "which is correct? Call/VY2 or VY2/Call. Ken pointed me to this: "Canada and the US have a peculiar and unique reciprocal operating agreement. Hams have the privileges that they have in their home country, but not exceeding those of the top-end license in the other country. Also, usually, Canadian and US hams suffix their callsign, not prefix them as is usually done. For example, VE5STX operating in North Dakota would be VE5STX/W0; WB0STX operating in Saskatchewan would be WB0STX/VE5." ¨C Jim MacKenzie VE5EV Oct 8, 2017 at 14:48 So, that only leaves Peter to decide his call at PEI! I'm going to set up QRZ.com for W6ABM/VY2. Everett W6ABM -- Everett Curry W6ABM Treasurer, SEA-PAC? 2022 Committee Assistant Section Manager/Oregon ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio?

Masks in public
CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. ¡ª Commuters will no longer have to wear masks on P.E.I. public transit as of Friday.

Lighthouse Weekend target
VK2FM, Freddo, and two others from the Three Coffs Harbour Radio Club will operate from South Solitary Island (OC-194) during the International Lighthouse & Lightship Weekend, August 20-21. He says it's a modest operation due to the weight, space and cost restrictions in hiring the Bell 206 helicopter for the trip. It is a 20-minute flight. They have received the needed permission from the government office overseeing the island and have made the arrangements with the local helicopter company, Precision Helicopters. The island is 23 acres and is 18 kilometers northeast of Coffs Harbour. The three operators will be VK4NGN, VK2VK and VKI2FM. They will be on the island starting at midday Friday local time until midday Monday. The QTH is the light-keeper's cottage next to the lighthouse. They will have a G5RV antenna on HF and 5/8 wavelength vertical for 2M. They plan 80, 40 and 20M on HF. https://www.chadarc.org.au/ Freddo has been on the island many times over the years, "looking after the radio telephone system with its solar powered battery system," as a technician working for Telstra.

Daily/Weekly DX Announcement
I just sent Bernie a preliminary "sketch" of our plans in response to his request for general DX trip info. No specifics other than dates and operators. We can figure out operating modes (from the Lodge and portable) and QSL routes over the next month or two. Options are individual photos and cards or a group shot like our J6 endeavor. I would think the former would be better for portable/lighthouse op's, but a bit more individual 'bother'. We can discuss tomorrow and again in June. Mac/WT4BT (soon to be VY2/WT4BT)
