Directions to the LIQRP Locations


Sunken Meadow State Park
(see Nicky's for rain location)
1. Long Island Expressway (495) to Exit 53

2. North on Sagtikos/Sunken Meadow Parkway.
  Follow Sunken Meadow Parkway all the way to the
  end and you will encounter the park tollbooths.

3. Stop at the tollbooth and pony-up a nominal fee
  (around $8 per car).

4. As you enter the park, you'll travel down a
  hill.  Take the first right turn (after the
  park service area that is marked "NO ENTRANCE",
  but before the bridge).

5. Go to the end where the road empties into a large
   parking area and immediately turn right, 90
   degrees, follow the curb straight, and about
   halfway down and up on the right side you'll find
   us at the low end of the wires in the trees.  You
   cannot miss the distinctive appearance and
   behavior of a group of QRP hams!

6. Once you've found us, you can unload your family
   and stuff, and then go park wherever you can and
   start having fun!

Nicky's of Centerport
(6 Little Neck Rd in Centerport; phone: 757-7277)
 

 

1. Long Island Expressway (495) to Exit 53

2. North on Sunken Meadow Parkway

3. West on Route 25A (25A is the last exit before you enter
Sunken Meadow State Park)

4. Continue west on Route 25A for 6 or 7 miles until you reach
Centerport. (Pass through Northport.  If you hit
Huntington or Cold Spring Harbor, you've gone too far.)

5. North on Little Neck Road (right turn at traffic light).
 
6. Turn right into the small parking lot/shopping center that
is immediately on your right (less than 100 yards from 25A).
 

Nicky's from West

Northern State Parkway to exit 42N (Deer Park Ave - says Northport on the exit sign)
Bear left after the fire house.  Start watching mileage.
Jericho Turnpike appears after 1 mile.  Continue north.
Broadway appears after 1.5 miles.  Bear right.
Cuba Hill Road appears after 3.1 miles.  Continue north.
Pulaski Road appears after 3.3 miles. Continue north.
Proceed through the town of Greenlawn, over rail-road tracks.
The road starts to go down a large hill after 4.4 miles.
East Main Street (or Fort Salonga Road) appears after 5.0 miles.
 When stopped at the traffic light, the car faces a Shell station.

Continue north on Little Neck Road (to the left of the Shell station) for 1/10 of a mile.
Nicky's is on the right in a small shopping mall.
 

Belmont Lake State Park
Exit 38 of Southern State Parkway
In parking lot, go to S/W corner of lot
 

 

If weather permits, it will be at the Park or another location. If it's outdoors,
the following applies, otherwise all the below is just extra words!

Bring rigs, batteries, antennas, etc., and we'll put some gear on the
air -- There are lots of trees in the picnic area where we'll be
meeting.  There are also plenty of tables and barbecue grills, a
small playground area, and a basketball court.

What should we do about food?  I'd say, BYOF (bring your own food),
and, if you want, bring something to share.  Don't worry about
bringing enough for everyone, because it's really hard to predict how
many will show up.

As always, spouses, significant others, children, friends, and
prospective hams are more than welcome.
 

In case of forecasted rain, check the site a couple of days before.
A rain date or change of location to Nicky's will be announced here,
by the e-mail reflector, or e-mail directly.
