Congrats Pete! Thanks for activating the lighthouse again this year on the satellites. I'm thrilled to make the log, and look forward to getting the QSL to go along with last year's certificate.

Hello,
I want to thank all the operators who made time to call W2GSB/Lighthouse, on Fire Island, NY, FN-30.
In the two days of operating on the FM Satellites only we made a total 42 contacts, comprising 15 states and two Countries. The real Summer weather helped, we had large crowds listening and watching, as we did our acrobatics with our Antenna, up down, left right, to make the contacts. In fact, more than one spectator thought we were just doing it for show, they were calling our maneuvers with the Arrow the Darth Vader magic ray. I always called on one of the spectators to work the antenna, to show how easy it was to find the Satellite, we handed out many Amsat journals and I hope Martha is kept busy, signing a few new members.
If you worked us, make sure you send in your card, the QSL in return will be worth it, thank you again for being so enthusiastic and exhibiting good operating skills for Lighthouse weekend...
73, Pete, WB2OQQ NY AMSAT Area Coordinator
