I have had the following call signs over the years.
VE8YE Frobisher Bay NWT 1970-1972
The station was a lightly used Collins KWM-2 with VFO console. During my time with Bell Canada I worked in a number of Inuit and Cree villages. Unfortunately my logs are missing from that period.
VE4RSL then VE4LR Brandon MB 2005 – 2007
The Collins was put back on the air until it decided to self destruct. I should not complain, I bought it at the factory when I was in Toronto working at Collins. From 1965 till 2012 is not a bad life for anything.
VE6VS Red Deer AB 2012 – 2013
I had a borrowed TS430 with a limited range tuner but managed to work quite a bit of digital. It helped to have two big pine trees front and back in the mobile home park.
VE6VS/VE4 & VE5SR Pelly SK 2014 to present
The initial rig was the FT-897D feeding a 135′ OCF strung up between two very tall pine trees at our first house. I have the antenna strung between a small tower to a tree in the back yard. Not bad but the tuner will not handle some of the CFARS channels.
I also operated portable from Fairfax Virginia for several winter months over two years as VE5SR/W4
