2019 International Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend, by N8GU

KE8ANU - Thu, 08/15/2019 - 5:12pm

Greetings friends...

This weekend is the 2019 International Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend - there are over 400 hams setting up stations world wide... I am one of the them. 

I am activating the South Have Pier Lighthouse on Lake Michigan Saturday and Sunday from 8:30am to 5:00pm.

At the top of each hour our will be on digital voice (the Quadnet Array) which can be accessed via D-Star (XRF757A) DMR (Brandmeister TG 31012); Fusion, Wires-X; and Echolink.  From the quarter hour back to the top I can be found on 20m HF - CW, FT8/4, and phone.  I look forward to making a qso with each of you.

Today I was reading an interesting article about the debacle of the CW communications of the Titanic.  Interesting read here: http://www.astrosurf.com/luxorion/qsl-ham-history-titanic.htm

THANK YOU for another Steam Threshers Special Event Station

KE8ANU - Mon, 07/22/2019 - 12:50am

Well it's over...

Between the terrible noise on both 20M and 40M, all the noise the show created all by its self, the blazing sun and 90+ heat, we still managed to make over 140 contacts at our joint venture Madison, Union, and Delaware County Special Event Station at the 2019 Miami Valley Steam Thresher Show and Reunion.

Using a G5RV Jr antenna with 100 watts stations from Italy, Nova Scotia, Spain, a bunch from Canada, and my favorite Derry, North Ireland were logged.  I don't know about other years, but this year we had wrist bands and vehicle passes and parked right behind the gas/radio station. 

List of characters that made it possible:

The Miami Valley Steam Threshers Assn gets a big THANK YOU! for inviting us back for another year.

KE8ANU Ed Liddle was our team leader.

NJ8B Tim Smith helped us set up.
