Being ever the optimist, I have started making some radio plans for this year. Although I'm sure the Covid Wizards may have other plans. To be quite honest, my main plan this year is to simply survive the year without catching anything!
Things have actually been pretty quiet around this QTH apart from activating parks for POTA, yesterday was -38C with the wind, so not much got done around here. Today it's +4C, you just never know, day to day, what you're going to get weather wise.
Plans are currently being made for some POTA "micro-DXpeditions". There are a couple of areas of the province that I would like to get on the air this year. The first one I have planned is down to Chatham in South-West Ontario, and return home along the lakes, activating the many POTA locations as I pass them. That one will be a 5 day trip with each night at a different park.
Anther will be up to Penetanguishene and around the Georgian Bay POTA parks. A lovely part of the province and only a days drive from Kingston. That one will be a 4 day trip, and once again each night will be at a different park.
My trans-Canada trip is planned, and has been approved by the XYL, but I can't see that trip happening this year. My gut feeling is that there is still far too many covid risks to do that trip yet. Maybe next year.
This year Winter Field Day is being held on January 29/30. I'll post more about that closer to the date. Their website can be found HERE.
Stay safe out there!!
Just moved to the South Bruce Peninsula after 48 years in Ottawa. Sauble Falls Provincial Park is just around the corner from me at Sauble Beach north. Lots of parks up and down the peninsula.
ReplyDeleteBob!!! Great to hear from you!! I have a list of parks on and near the peninsula I want to do. I'll let you know when I'm up that way.
DeleteHope you are well!!
