Well, Ken, did you step up and identify yourself as an Amateur Radio Operator and explain how that activity help promote an awareness of these historic structures around the country?
Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- As a passing comment ... My Lady (N7HKW) and I are lighthouse hosts for the Oregon State Parks Department from November through April of each year. As an amateur working at two of Oregon's lighthouses for five years, I wouldn't participate in activating the lighthouses. I know how some management staff ... and more importantly visitors ... view the "occupation" each year. I happened to be in a park office on business the day that a local club's representative for the week's occupation came to apply to use the lighthouse and heard the after-he-left discussion. Of course I understand what's behind the event, but from my perspective of how it's viewed by non-amateurs , it's counter productive. Almost embarrassing, actually. We will, of course buy a few plate blocks of Oregon's Umpqua River Lighthouse stamp. (:-)) 73!
