We worked out logistics for August 2010 (or a touch earlier)
weather permitting for Chirikof Island (new-one NA-235) and
Seal Islands (NA-239).

Since the island has two lakes, fastest, safest and easiest way is
charter an airplane from Kodiak.  With many positive referrals
from Kodiak we contacted Mr. Steve Harvey from Harvey Flying
Service and reached agreement for transportation of our group.




















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 successfully. Electric fence for
antennas and camp might help us.

It will be typical Russian Robinson Club operation (4 or more
Ops) and about one week on the island, depending on WX.
Possible trip to Seal Islands (NA-239) when Chirikof is
completed.

Merle N6PYN and Brad KA5CDJ activated NA-239 Seal Island in
2009, but they had to leave ASAP due to circumstances beyond
their control.

Planned calls: KL7RRC on Chirikof and N6PYN/KL7 on Seal
Islands.
