I am planning on getting out for this event too. I have been in contact with IILW and have gotten two lighthouses along the St Lawarence listed, Prescott Heritage Harbour / Prescott Breakwater / Prescott Harbour Outer is CA0035 and Windmill Point is CA0036 a bit further east and a Historical site as well.

I am planning on being one or the other perhaps both that weekend depending on the weather and what other public events may be going on. This being the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 there are events going on all summer Fort Wellington in Prescott is close to both of these site.

cheers, Graham ve3gtc

Thanks for the visit and the comments… We drove down yesterday and it was a nice location…

Only issue is that we have no trees or anything…. One vertical will be attached to the Jeeps trailer hitch (VA3PCJ has a jeep) and I will be using a mfj 31 foot mast to support my Par end fed as a slight sloper. No protection from the elements… wind comes down the river to keep the bugs away but no trees – no shade and its too windy for beach umbrella ,,,

40m would be our best chance for a contact.

hope to hear you on the air..

Hopefully we will be able to work light to light. I’ll be down at the Point Petre light operating with the FT-857D and a 80m OCF Dipole and a 31′ vertical.
