 Well done Doug, Heather and Bev!!

I would also like to thank Barry, VE3ISX, and the rest of the guys from ONTARS who stood by on the 40m frequency for a couple of hours to ensure this island activation was a success.  This was fantastic support, and is what this hobby is all about.

Below are some photo's from Doug of the activation.
