[InHam] Fw: [HFbeacons] Lighthouse Weekend Saturday and Sunday

[Paul Webster]

This is similar to state parks on the air but this is international & another excellent idea to promote historic sites & ham radio. .

Just curious...Did any of you make any lighthouse contacts today?
I didn't have any luck. 10m was poor. 15m was better but not great.The other bands didn't seem all that good either.

There were two in particular that I was listening for.The Charlotte Genesee Lighthouse in Rochester, NY. The special call is K2R.

The other is a lighthouse at the northern entrance of the Panama Canal.

We have one more day (Sunday) to make these and other Lighthouse contacts.

Our Beacon buddy Cam,HP1AC, in Panama will be at the controls during the event. He's a dedicated Ham and a good cw op.

It could be a fun day if propagation cooperates, hi.

Replies may be sent to me direct to conserve The List bandwidth.
