[amsat-bb] Lighthouse/Lightship weekend

[Peter]

Hello,

I want to thank all the operators who made time to call W2GSB/Lighthouse, on
Fire Island, NY, FN-30.

In the two days of operating on the FM Satellites only we made a total 42
contacts,  comprising 15 states and two Countries.  The real Summer weather
helped, we had large crowds listening and watching, as we did our acrobatics
with our Antenna, up down, left right, to make the contacts. In fact, more
than one spectator thought we were just doing it for show, they were calling
our maneuvers with the Arrow the Darth Vader magic ray.  I always called on
one of the spectators to work the antenna, to show how easy it was to find
the Satellite, we handed out many Amsat journals and I hope Martha is kept
busy, signing a few new members.

If you worked us, make sure you send in your card, the QSL in return will be
worth it, thank you again for being so enthusiastic and  exhibiting  good
operating skills for Lighthouse weekend...

73,
Pete, WB2OQQ
