This weekend is used to promote the U.S. (USI) and Canadian (CIA) islands programs to amateurs worldwide. To promote verifiable amateur radio contacts with stations located on islands in the U.S. and Canada.
Over the last few years participation from Canadian Amateurs has been extremely low, under 10 of us most years. Let's see if we can change that this year!!!!

Pick an island and get out and have some fun.
Bill,
ReplyDeleteI plan to operate on Fairclough Island ON-302 for this event.
What frequencies do the "islanders" hang out on? They're not listed in the rules.
What do you call on cw? "CQ W/VE Islands QP" is a bit long.
Judging by past QSO party results, there are not many islanders on the air. So I suppose that most of our Q's are from the state Qso Parties or contests or general responses to our CQs. Easier to make those CQs and appeals on phone than on cw.
Don, I sent you an email reply.
