    Thanks to the efforts of Rob Ireland
VE9KM, our club now has the use of the
special event callsign VC1J from October
20th until November 20th, 2010 for the club's
use at the Joggins Fossil Cliffs Museum in
Joggins, NS.

    The cliffs have been designated a
UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our club
operated HF there on Saturday, October
23rd, 2010 from 9am until 12:30 pm.

    Unfortunately, they had to shut down early
as a speaker was to be there to talk about the
cliffs at 1pm. Not too many contacts were
made but they did make a few. They are not
sure about a planned return trip at this time.

    The club members attending operated HF
radio from this location after having erected
antennas on the roof of the facility.

    Several photos here were taken from the
roof of the Joggins Cliffs Fossil Centre.
    
    Those club members involved in this event
were Rob VE9KM, Jim VE1JBL, Peter
VE1SM, Jon VE1JSG and Bob VE1EDP.
