I have to agree with this. We're not talking limestone. It's granite,
gneiss, schist, feldspar, and other Very Hard Rock. I spend a month up
there every summer, and can attest to the quality of the rock.
Also to the quality of the mosquito and blackfly crop every year, to
the size and willingness-to-bite of the fish, and to the absolutely
*marvelous* freedom from interference. I took my PCR-1000 up there
two years back (notice! I'm back on topic again. Whee!), and could
hear all manner of weak-signal stuff.
For those who are interested, our cottage is in the SplitRock Group on
Monument Channel, Canadian small craft chart 2202, sheet 2, n Go Home
Bay Township, and it's just over 1 mile east of 45N 80W. In summer it's
paradise.
