KL7RRC The same group that activated Chuginadak Island (NA-234) is now planning to activate Ogliuga Island (NA-233, Grid AO52) in the Delarof Islands Group next year between July 23 and August 5, 2009. Jeff Williams with USFWS (KL2HD) suggested to land on Ogliuga instead of Goreloi due to much better camping spot and portion of it not wilderness, so generator can be used.
