Carl,

Please share with NOARS.

SPECIAL EVENT :
August 14th <x-apple-data-detectors://0> starting at 00:01
<x-apple-data-detectors://1> Zulu for 48 hours. LCWO will be operating
for the ILLW International Lighthouse Lightship Weekend. The three man
team will depart Lorain Sailing Club marina by boat for lighthouse
number US0143 USA-453 at 2pm Friday afternoon
<x-apple-data-detectors://2>. The team will leave with enough gear to
operate from 80 through 10m with four stations on the air. The team
plans to operate on all bands and all modes including SSB, CW, and
digital modes. The team plans to set up antennas Friday afternoon
<x-apple-data-detectors://3> to be on the air for event start. They will
use the club call NW8S and will have operators on the air around the
clock. Local operators can coordinate HF on the simplex frequency of
146.505 which they will be monitoring during certain time slots of the
event. They also plan to engage in local simplex on 2M FM, and local
analog machines as well. The team will have enough supplies to last for
3 days at the lighthouse and plan to depart Sunday afternoon. This will
mark the fourth time an amateur radio station has ever operated from the
lighthouse and the fourth time in decades that the structure will be
occupied overnight. Our team of operators would like to mention that
this event, under certain weather conditions, could be very hazardous
and set up times could be delayed pending weather.

10M - 28.350 / 28.050 / 28.120
