Just a reminder that a group of us plan to operate from the Margaretsville Lighthouse this Sunday, 25 September. We will start setting up mid-morning, and plan to be on the air by noon. We’ll operate until 1600 or so.<\/p>\n
We will have stations on CW and\/or SSB on 40 and 20m, and will operate several digital modes on the 30m band. Antennas will include dipoles and quarter-wave verticals.<\/p>\n
\n
The forecast looks good – a mix of sun and clouds. It will be a little cool, so you may want to bring a jacket. If you plan to spend much time there, snacks and something to drink are advised.<\/p>\n
Once again, this is a low-stress operation. Emphasis will be placed on having fun and learning how to set up an effective station in the field.<\/p>\n
While several people have indicated that they plan to be there, we always have room for more! I hope to see you there!<\/p>\n
