Greetings,
The Lighthouse Rover is planning another adventure for the June contest.
True to its name, it will operate from a lighthouse. This time, we will
start the contest at the Montauk Point Light (ARLHS USA-512) on Long Island.
Our route will take us west through Long Island and to home on Saturday
night. Sunday morning, we will start the day at a local overlook, drop down
south a little, head up to High Point, NJ and then follow I-81 north to
FN14/FN24. Locations to be visited are in the table below.
Along the way we will monitor 222.350 FM (horizontal) and we will attempt to
have CU2QSO running on 147.585 when we make our stops. We will be on 50
through 432 MHz. with various loop antennas (no beams). If anybody has a
good idea of a 2m frequency we should camp out on, please let us know.
