W1ACT from the Gay Head
Lighthouse on Martha's Vineyard.We
will be on air Friday May 3rd until Sunday May 5th.
I hope you can join us on the air next weekend while Team HAMCOW is
operating W1ACT from the Gay Head Lighthouse on Martha's Vineyard. This
is our 20th annual trip to this location, and we will be on air for the
New England QSO Party, ARLHS, County Hunters (Dukes, MA), US Islands,
IOTA, NEQP, and 7QP, and just plain old fun and casual operating. We
will be on air Friday May 3rd until Sunday May 5th.
You can follow our activity throughout the weekend at:
http://hamcow.net/
Even though we are operating portable and from a somewhat remote
location, we will have a dedicated broadband Internet connection
allowing us to do cool things such as real time online log checking
which also allows you to see what frequency & mode we are currently
operating, updating our web page regularly with cool photos, and even
hosting a high definition webcam so you can see the activity inside the
HAMCOW live as it happens! (Sorry - Internet Explorer is required to
view the webcam streaming video.)
The crew will be arriving on Martha's Vineyard to set up Thursday
afternoon, and will be on air just a few hours later, and staying active
as long as possible until Sunday night. I hope you can follow our
antics throughout the weekend and help put a lot of points into our
contest logs.
Thanks!
