Amherst Island ON-021

This coming Sunday the Frontenac Radio Group will be activating Amherst Island, ON-021.  Amherst hasn't been activated in a good number of years so we're hoping it will attract a bit of attention.

The last time we activated Amherst we made a remarkable two HF contacts, hopefully we can do better this time.

We will be on from 1500 UTC till 1900 UTC, unless propagation is in the toilet again and then we'll call it quits early.

Callsign will be VE3FRG, and the SSB frequencies will be:

14.250 - 14.260
21.350
50.125
144.200

CW Frequencies will be:

14.040
21.040
50.070
144.060
