Memories of Fox Main: "HALL BEACH AND ROWLEY ISLAND - FOX MAIN AND FOX 1
Rowley Island was located about 50 miles slightly N of E of Hall Beach. It was the location of the Aux Site, FOX 1. This was the only location (I think) on the DEWline where two Aux, or an Aux and a Main site, did not have an I-site in between - there was only water in between. So the geography of the location demanded a slightly different configuration of equipment than usual. As I mentioned earlier, the I-sites usually housed the Doppler transmitters and the adjacent M or A-sites would house the corresponding receivers for each link. The solution arrived at in this instance was to keep the configuration at the A-site standard, ie, two receivers, and Fox Main would substitute for the missing I-site and house the transmitter. Hence the reason for this kit in the TTY repair room."

Cleaning Up Mines in Northern Saskatchewan - YouTube
Cleaning Up Mines in Northern Saskatchewan - YouTube: "Uranium mining in the Athabasca Basin region in Northern Saskatchewan was developed in the early 1950s. The mines developed during this period were abandoned, leaving deep holes and mining debris exposed. Project CLEANS (Cleanup of Abandoned Northern Sites), led by the Saskatchewan Research Council, is a multi-year project aimed at the cleanup (environmental remediation) of 38 abandoned mine sites in the Athabasca Basin region."
