Lighthouse Event Saturday 18th … 9:30 until ???

Hello everyone… I hope your summer is going well…. the next QSY Society event will be The ILLW… (The Esopus Lighthouse)… This is a very low key event… Lots of fun… and only a few hours long…. This is a BYO Radio event… though I will be bringing a radio to share…. If you bring your own radio, YOU ensure that YOU can operate; YOU can operate when YOU want; …. and YOU can operate the mode YOU prefer;… etc… I will bring a package of Hot dogs and buns… So I hope others will bring something to share as well….

Wire antennas and family participation predominates 2012 – we had a total of 92 hams & nonhams (60 / 32), which included 39 who were related to one another. This emphasizes the uniqueness of QSY’s Field Day – something for everyone – from the serious side of contesting … to the skill of setting up and operating under emergency conditions … and the enjoyment of getting together with friends and family through the common bond of this cool hobby!
