Trip Report
CO50 and CN69
CN78 and CN79
CO70 and CN79

Not a thing was heard in CO50 or in CN69.   For CO50, I traveled 50 miles each way over gravel logging roads to the Coast Main logging road near Raft Cove Provincial Park near the very northwest tip of Vancouver Island.   No perfectly clear site was found, but 20M seemed to be open.
 
For CN69, I traveled another 4 hours round trip to the small town of Zeballos.   The surrounding mountains are very steep and high.  Occasionally I would hear a voice meteor reflection from N7EPD in Tacoma, but other than that, nothing was heard.   No real good path to the SE where the population lives in Puget Sound or coastal US.
