[Corkradioclub] Old Head of Kinsale Activation

[Timothy McKnight]

That's a great suggestion for callsign Cormac. Ei2OHK.  I'd say go for it
Dave.

Maybe I'll have to tell the grandkids to get lost so that I can come.  It
certainly sounds like a great weekend.  I drove up to the gate of the golf
club only a few months ago as I'd only seen the Old Head from the sea.  It
is an exotic location and will be great fun I'd say.

Keep me in mind as I might be able to get a pass after all.
