Thank You!!

A huge Thank You goes out to all the hams who took the time and activated an island this year.  Without you guys there would not be a need for the Canadian Island Activators, and life would then be pretty boring.

2019 was a fairly quiet year as far as activations go, but given our position in the current solar cycle, we are not surprised.  It's a lot of work to plan and execute a good activation only to have it ruined by very bad propagation.  I know.....it happened to me on a couple of activations this year.

This year we have started to announce Canadian lighthouse activations as well.  We don't keep track of lighthouses, but if we can help drum up some business for those out there activating, so much the better.

We hope that 2020 will start to see some improvement in propagation, and in turn hope that will start hams looking at getting out and activating an island or two during the year.

Once again a big Thank You to this years activators, we couldn't do it without you guys!
