Most know that VY2ZM is for sale - and I think most every active contester the world over knows it as well! 
After a year of looking in that direction, we are now realizing that any sale, if it occurs, will probably 
be made to a NON-HAM.  And that means, there will be no station at this location at some
point - probably - but you never know.


I mention the above because Miriam and I just decided to sell some OTHER LAND we own across the street - 
this is a nice parcel that we will never use - which is about 9.0 acres of interesting land for a potential 
station or vacation home here on the island.


Basically it is within a mile of the ocean (you could easily see 200 degrees of ocean takeoff from the top of 
a 70 ft tower) - from its across the street location - I would say the takeoff resembles my own - it is just 
not right at the edge of the water.  Basically from Northern Calif through North over to EA8 would be over 
salt water.


It is a private lot with trees at the road and a highway access cut is already there - the land is presently 
leased to a local farmer - so a good bit of it is cleared, flat land suitable for a cottage or inexpensive prefab 
type home.  Power is available at the road and an easy install as well.


Miriam and I walked the land two days ago and there is about 3/4 of an acre of cleared land at the road that is
perfect for a homesite.


Behind a potential dwelling there is a dirt road we opened to allow access for the farmer to a SECOND cleared 
portion to the rear which is about 2 acres+/- of flat land - which would be ideal for antennas quite nicely out
 of sight from the home and street.  If I personally wanted to develop this parcel for ham radio, 
I might easily imagine two HF towers, with room also for an 80m 4- square - and easily a single 1/4 wave vertical 
for 160m.  Maybe even two phased verticals to the rear of the field that is there - these would probably fit as 
well.


Since the remaining land overall is wooded and is shaped as a rectangle - it is also possible to string out two 
880 foot beverages one NE/SW and a second NW/SE -and by making them both reversible two-way beverages, one could 
have some pretty decent listening antennas for the low bands as well on this parcel.  Or perhaps a K7TJR RX 4SQ 
listening system.


Anyway - that's the lot - and it is available now for sale.  Since it is less than 10 acres, a husband and wife 
or any other two parties can buy it without formal application to the PEI government - which is a real plus. 
Tower restrictions here are not a problem as we have NO ZONING in my area - but some kind of filing may 
now be required with CANADA - but compared to local zoning in the NE corridor of the USA - this is a cakewalk. 
WIW, US citizens can come to Canada on their US passports for up to 183 days each year - which is plenty enough
time for contests or to have a summer vacation with the family during the warmer months.


Land size is approximaely 9+/- acres and the asking price is $19,500USD.


73 and thanks for reading.
