Many hams make a
change of call sign over time and it’s hard at first to adapt to the new
one. Here are the call signs I have used
on the air in the past 63 years:
Ham Radio
VE1SY, VE1AKQ, VE1GM
plus VE1GX and VE1YAR on Field Days and
VE0ME (on the ferries)
Aeronautical and
Marine
CYQM (Moncton) CYQI
(Yarmouth) and CYFC (Fredericton) Airports
VAU (Yarmouth Marine
Radio in Rockville)
VGA (Lurcher
Lightship)
VGY (Seal Island)
CGSS (Arctic patrol
ship "C.D. Howe”)
VDND (first M.V.
“Buenose”)
GSOC (“Marine Cruiser” Registered in London)
C6CA (“Marine Evangeline” later changed
to VCQK)
C6DZ (second M.V.
“Bluenose’)
Lots of opportunities for
mixups!
