> I had a 10m FM QSO with Bob, VY2NX, today and he informed me that Jeff, K1ZM (VY2ZM) has sold his PEI QTH.  Not to another ham, but a private buyer.  All the VY2ZM antennas and towers were taken down to complete the sale.  Such a shame that another ham could have kept them up.  The same thing happened to Paul, K4JA when he had to remove all his towers to sell his home in Virginia.

> Bob also told me that Hurricane Fiona produced over 100 mph winds on PEI.  Several VY2s lost towers and antennas, so now PEI will become as rare as VE8 in the upcoming ARRL Sweepstakes for a Clean Sweep.  The ARRL will lose money on selling coffee mugs!

> PEI has brutal winters, and now a major hurricane, so I am quite happy to be living in Florida.  I can always cool off in my beautiful outdoor swimming pool and I don't have to shovel snow anymore.
