First stop was Pangnirtung, NU 66.29631686607716 N , -65.68303828644571 W
The station was set up on shipping containers
The Antenna was a multiband dipole. There was a 40/30/15 m segments all with egg insulators between and a bag full of alligator clips to jump between the segments for band changing and also for tuning. Also had a 10/6m antenna built the same , this fit into a lunch bag the other one into a freezer bag...both were very light.
The dipole antenna is a little tough to see (click and make the picture big) but its there , here is my 15m setup. I was here servicing the KA Satellite Antenna.

I was being heard globally
Worked some FT8
and some wspr
Only had a few hours in on my last day in Pang it was really worth the effort.
I had a nice place to set up in Clyde River, NU N 70.47290038265037, W -68.58921299975152
The center of the dipole is 1 strut above the solid panel on the cell tower, one leg goes over the container on the left the other one is attached to the snow rake leaning on the 8m C Band Antenna.
Worked a bunch of FT8
I was having problems with the computer / signal link and could only transmit at 5 watts. I messed with it for almost the entire morning and gave up. Figured 5 watts is better then not operating.
Heard very little on 15m SSB with the exception of a guy in Finland ...
Also did some WSPRing ( 5 Watts )
Noise levels were pretty high especailly as night fell S6 ish through the day but no lower then S3.
As night fell I tried 40m. The noise on 40 was S9+ as the night fell. I did a 40m WSPR and was only heard in Alert
