[K3CAL] Anyone interested in activating Chesapeake Bay lighthouses?

[Dave]

I've already activated a few of these lighthouses and didn't know there were so many.  Is anyone interested in getting out and doing some portable operations and 'lighting up a few lighthouses?'This would be a fair weather expedition over a long time period catching a few lighthouses on each trip.  There is no prize or award except for the one offered by the ARLS as seen below.  I think this would be a fun way to get out and see the area.  I'll be doing PSK31 ops mostly and welcome a CW or SSB station to join me.
