I have to agree with this. We're not talking limestone. It's granite,
gneiss, schist, feldspar, and other Very Hard Rock. I spend a month up
there every summer, and can attest to the quality of the rock.
You bet. Man do we have rock up here. I think we have invented "rock".
To make a point about grounding, I actually drove 4, 10 ft ground rods
into the ground smashing through our rock or bending around these
things. I then strapped all 4 of the ground rods with 4 AWG stranded
wire. I used the Kitty Littler slurry around each rod. Strapping all 4
of the rods together insures a common ground at the same ground
potential. Using many grounds is ALWAYS better than just 1.
Also to the quality of the mosquito and blackfly crop every year, to
the size and willingness-to-bite of the fish, and to the absolutely
*marvelous* freedom from interference.
So, you have been introduced to the Muskoka/Algonquin "Airforce". Betcha
they won!!!
I took my PCR-1000 up there
two years back (notice! I'm back on topic again. Whee!), and could
hear all manner of weak-signal stuff.
Yes, reception is excellent here !!
For those who are interested, our cottage is in the SplitRock Group on
Monument Channel, Canadian small craft chart 2202, sheet 2, n Go Home
Bay Township, and it's just over 1 mile east of 45N 80W. In summer it's
paradise.
Holy crow!!! I finally met someone from "Go Home Bay" !!!!! YOW.
I have been looking for someone like you for over 40 years. There I
sactually someone
