Hello All,
As part of the International Lighthouse/Lightship event, I will be
operating on most of the FM Satellites, thru the weekend. In addition we
will have AMSAT information available to the many visitors that tour the
Fire Island Lighthouse, our goal is to have fun and bring new Satellite
operators to the airwaves. So when you hear W2GSB/Lighthouse, give us a
call, you can visit http://www.gsbarc.org to view the QSL card and more
information about the event, thank you.

the Scottish Northern Lighthouses award weekend by Mike Dalrymple, GM4SUC, a
member of the Ayr Amateur Radio Group, see also this web site for further
history and this page for the event's first web site. Over the years it has
grown to over 380 lighthouses in some 51 countries around the world
