We worked out logistics for August 2010 (or a touch earlier)
weather permitting for Chirikof Island (NA-235).
Since the island has two lakes, fastest, safest and easiest way is
charter an airplane from Kodiak. Will ship equipment in the
spring to Kodiak from Seattle.
One interesting fact: no bears on the island, but herd of about
700-800 wild cows. Cows live on the island for over 100 years
and herd never was managed successefully. Electric fence for
antennas and camp might help us.
It will be typical Russian Robinson Club operation (3-4 Ops) and
about one week on the island, depending on WX. Possible trip to
Seal Islands (NA-239) when Chirikof is completed.
Planned calls: KL7RRC on Chirikof and N6PYN/KL7 on Seal
Islands. Ops: UA9OBA, N6PYN and N3QQ
