The
Snohomish County HAMS Club and the Cascade Radio Club of Everett will be
activating the Mukilteo Washington Lighthouse for the International Lighthouse
Lightship Weekend on Saturday, August 16th.  The special event call sign will be W7M.  I will be putting W7M out on FO-29, AO-7 and
SO-50 in grid CN87.  This is not a
particularly rare grid, but it will be fun and an opportunity to demonstrate
satellite operations.  The following is a
list of the passes I plan to try:
FO-29  1532Z and 1719Z  (1719Z is extremely low elevation and may not
work)
SO-50 1626Z ,
1809Z,  1951Z (1809Z is extremely low
elevation and may not work)
AO-7  2042Z (this one also low elevation – will try
CW only on this pass)
For FO-29,
look for W7M around 435.830 +/- Doppler
