2019 International Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend, by N8GU

Greetings friends...

This weekend is the 2019 International Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend - there are over 400 hams setting up stations world wide... I am one of the them. 

I am activating the South Have Pier Lighthouse on Lake Michigan Saturday and Sunday from 8:30am to 5:00pm.

At the top of each hour our will be on digital voice (the Quadnet Array) which can be accessed via D-Star (XRF757A) DMR (Brandmeister TG 31012); Fusion, Wires-X; and Echolink.  From the quarter hour back to the top I can be found on 20m HF - CW, FT8/4, and phone.  I look forward to making a qso with each of you.

Today I was reading an interesting article about the debacle of the CW communications of the Titanic.  Interesting read here: http://www.astrosurf.com/luxorion/qsl-ham-history-titanic.htm
