We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during these trying times.  But....it's a great time to start planning those island activations!!

Stay safe everyone!!

Prince Edward County Lights

We have just received word that Chris, VE3CBK, will be activating the following Prince Edward County Lighthouses on April 16 & 17.

CAN-864m

On Thursday, April 16th he will activate the old False Ducks Lighthouse, CAN-864m, currently located at the Mariners Park Museum ( FN13lw ).

On Friday he will activate the Prince Edward Point Lighthouses, CAN-788 and CAN-787 located at Point Travers ( FN13nw ).

Also on the agenda for Friday, if time permits, he also plans on activating the lighthouse at Point Petre, CAN-763 ( FN13ku ).

This will be a QRP event.  Timings and frequencies to follow, and will be posted here after we receive them.

Lighthouse Activations...

Given the unseasonably warm temperatures we're having here in Ontario, I'm not surprised to see this activity so early in the new year.......

This coming Friday, January 3rd, Chris VE3CBK will will activating the following 4 Ontario lights:

Graham Bay/Stillwater Park Light, CAN-1352.

Aylmer Marina Light CAN-1431.

Aylmer Island (New) Light CAN-867.

Aylmer Island (Old) Light CAN-1437.

Chris will start at 1500 UTC, and go until 1700 UTC.  If propagation is good he will continue until 1800 UTC.

Starting frequency will be 7.270 +/- QRM.  He will move to 14.270 +/- QRM around 1600 UTC.

Aylmer Marina Light CAN-1431

Happy New Year!!

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!

Seasons Greetings..
