[Corkradioclub] Old Head of Kinsale Activation

[Cormac Gebruers]

All,

Subject to being keelhauled at short notice off to some forsaken corner of
the World for work, I'm on board and hereby volunteer to do the overnight
40m stint.

Re callsign, could I suggest *EI2OHK* - 2 to match the light characteristics
at the Old Head (2 flashes every 10s) and "OHK" for Old Head [of] Kinsale
which is how the light/headland is named on nautical charts.

If we do this then we can have a nautically themed QSL card using a chart
extract (I'll arrange) showing the light with it's light characterictics as
part of the callsign?

Cormac, EI4HQ
