WX
permitting, on Saturday Aug 19, Jose VA3PCJ, may try to qualify "Clifford
Allen Island” (Grid Loc. FN25DJ72) in the Rideau River (near Billings Bridge
Mall). This island has never been
activated before.
The
Island is "water-locked” in the Rideau River - not far from the river
shore. Jose may try to launch upriver and paddle to the island in a canoe or
kayak.
If he manages to make a landing he will likely operate his KX3 and possibly the Buddipole or the PAR EndFed Tribander and operate both CW and SSB mostly on 40m.

Then,
for the W/VE Islands QSO Party the following weekend, also WX permitting, he
may plan a return to Aylmer Island ON295. Otherwise, Clarence Island ON301 or
Rideau Island ON296 are possible alternates.
