Brian, I've not been up there yet but hope to visit one day. I did
work Nick, VE3OWV from there during an event in early June 2006. At
that time he said some equipment was still needed, but I've long since
forgotten what. Jerry Proc has a very nice site for the HMCS Haida,
also. Looks like another tour worth taking.
