I have made many trips to Canada in the past few years, but have not operated
on HF until April 2002 despite the easy procedure the USA and Canada have
regarding hams from one country in the other. Even with this, I decided
to write the exams and obtain my own Canadian license - and I have another
page with some information for foreign hams wishing
to operate in Canada.
Here is a list of my trips to Canada where I have operated on HF or the
amateur satellites:
- 12-15 April 2002 in North Vancouver, British
Columbia, as WD9EWK/VE7
- 16-20 October 2002 in Toronto, Ontario, as
CJ7EWK/3
- 8-9 November 2008 in Burnaby, British Columbia, as CJ7EWK
I used WD9EWK/VE7 on the air in April 2002 from British Columbia, as I wrote
the Canadian amateur exams on that trip, and did not have my Canadian amateur
operator's certificate with VA7EWK until 3 weeks after that trip.
Need a QSL card from one of my Canadian trips?
QSLs for VA7EWK (or with a special Canadian prefix in place of VA -
CF7EWK, CJ7EWK, VG7EWK, or XL7EWK) or
WD9EWK/VE7 are via WD9EWK.
WD9EWK is OK through the QSL bureau, or you may send your QSL card direct
to:
Patrick STODDARD
P.O. Box 1934
Scottsdale AZ 85252-1934
U.S.A.
Until my next trip north, 73!
