Any rental cabins nearby?

For us West Coasters living in British Columbia or Washington state, this
is an attractive and potentially doable proposition.

You are only 500 km to Russia to the West...  you are 1/2 the radio wave
distance to Japan than here on  the West Coast, 2000 km closer to Iceland
and so on.

It's a sweet location. A beverage would rock pretty hard there.

What are flights to Galena like from, I assume, Anchorage?

One more reason to get that N Flag up -- by spinning the dial on my VACTROL
controller,
I can actually "un-null" the TA!

That is to say... my W/NW Flag is NULLING the TA's.

The irony is not lost on anyone here!

Threshold audio on 1215 and whisps of carriers exactly where Nick describes.

All pretty darn weak on my W/NW flag -- maybe "detuning" the FLAGS
directivity may help.
