Ken, VE3HLS, announced a Grid EX-\npedition to Moosonee, ON, Canada, which is in EO91. He will be arriving\nearly afternoon on Friday, September 23rd, and leaving late afternoon\nMonday, September 26th. That gives him four days to put EO91 on the air\nvia the Satellite. Moosonee is a Cree village located on the Moose River,\nwhich empties into James Bay, about 15 km downstream. By land, Moosonee\nis only accessible by train; The Polar Bear Express that runs from Cochrane,\nON. It's also accessible by air at much greater expense. He will be driving\nto Cochrane and taking a few days to get there which will enable him to\nactivate other grids along the way, such as FN06, FN07, FN08, EN98 and EN99.\nLook for updates on his Twitter page at: https://twitter.com/@VE3HLS\n\n[ANS thanks Ohio/Penn DX Bulletin #1280 for the above information]\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nMultiple Satellite Grid Activations\n\nBetween 5 September and 11 September Bob Liddy, K8BL, travel from Ohio \nnorth to\nSault St. Marie and make a loop through the following Grids:\nEN76/86/87/88/98/99/89/79/78/77\n\nOperation will be on FO29, SO50 and AO7.
