Re: WW2 Amateur activity
When Britain declared war on Sept. 1, 1939, Canada was soon to follow. Even though the official declaration for Canada wasn't until Sept. 10th, the gov't moved quickly on amateur radio operators. The Minister responsible issued a letter to all hams on Sept. 5th ordering a cessation of all activities.
Shortly after they were getting invites like this. Notice that one is dated Sept. 7th, 3 days before declaration.
