[NLRS] August 2018 10 GHz Cumulative on Lake Superior

[Gregg Lind]

Since I am not clear to what was done in the past and new to this but I
have done a lot of travel into Canada for fishing I have stayed at
Marathon, Terrace Bay, and Thunder bay...

I think Terrace bay has the best view / great visibility   but they have a
great hotel at the Esso station and has been remodeled, you could probably
operate from the second floor of the hotel or go to the beach for access...

Marathon more a hit miss town not sure about the beach access,, Not as good
rooms...

Thunder Bay has a great look out --- the location of the Terry Fox runner
that had one leg that ran across Canada
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Fox_Memorial_and_Lookout this location
i beleive is above the royale isle?

But what the typical location in Canada operate from?
