[Elecraft] Lighthouse K6L Aug 16 and 17

[lhlousek]

Steve Lybarger NU7T, Ed Dybowski WD7Y, and me, Lou Hlousek W7DZN, all of the Reno QRP Club, will be activating the
Sugar Pine Point lighthouse on Lake Tahoe for the Aug 16 and 17 International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend.
The world's highest active lighthouse is in Sugar Pine Point State Park about half way down the west shore of Lake
Tahoe, CA.  The scenery is beautiful but the lighthouse might not be quite what you'd expect.  It's nothing more than a
strobe atop a 20' pole.  Still, it is listed as lighthouse USA-916 by the lighthouse association and we will activate
it. The lighthouse is about a 3/4 mile hike from the nearest road so we will be packing in our gear.

Our special event call is K6L and ops will start around 5:00 PM PDT Friday.  We will QRT for the night and continue
Saturday until 5:00PM PDT on or around  the following frequencies as band condx permit:

40m:   7.005 - 7.035     (7.021)
20m: 14.010 - 14.040   (14.021)
15m: 21.010 - 21.040   (21.021)
10m: 28.010 - 28.040   (28.021)

These are the official frequencies listed for the event.  Where appropriate, we will try to operate at the upper ends of
the
ranges so as to be out of the Extra segments.  Depending on the level of activity we may be operating split.

Rigs will include two K2s, a K1, an SST, and an IC706 feeding an MP-1, inverted V, and end-fed long wire antennas.

This is not a contest.  Give us a call if you hear us. Slow CW is welcome!
