Does anyone have any info on the Arctic Radio facility, concerning where they are located, who they relay for ; the geographic area they control. Iceland radio had us contact them at 68n/45w...just could not find any reference or frequencies for them on our charts...thx

Arctic Radio is an array of transmitters across the high arctic for use by both high and low level aircraft, on 126.7 or 5680 HF.
The accual radio operators are located in North Bay, Ontario
Thousands of miles away from the accual transmission points.
They provide the typical FSS services: weather, pos. report taking, clearence relays, traffic advisories, sightings of Russians invading over the pole.
If you can access an AIP Canada, the coverage area and procedural details are all in there.
