Located high on the hill at Skyloft Ski Resort in Durham region, it is a broad coverage system, analog linked to most of Southern Ontario and the home of 10, 6, 2 meters, 125, 70 cm machines with links to IRLP. The 440 D-star machine is not linked and neither is the 1270 MHz UHF high band machine.
The parking lot for access is up the back of the hill as the towers are located just to the side of the main lodge. Access with 5 watts on a 2m handie talkie is easy from my location near Niagara Falls.
