I was looking on google earth ... looks to be a
lot of sea planes about .. that would prevent any high mast
??
the location looks a bit tricky .......a low
long wire may be good .. but can you get one out , looks to have
roads all round ?

I would recommend a loop antenna, there are various
designs around such as Jim M0BMU's design, http://www.wireless.org.uk/BPloops2.pdf Even
though you're in the middle of nowhere there, you should stand a chance of
getting some of the US 500kHz stations ( www.500kc.com ) going under the calls WD2XSH and
WE2XGR with numerical suffixes identifying the individual stations. We in the
UK have 10W ERP but it won't be easy to get right over to you... Maybe you
could contact some of the US stations in the North and do some test with them
first?
Good luck! Dave G3YXM.
