[Waverley ARS] Lighthouse Weekend 2006

[evdw at iprimus.com.au]

Hi Laurie,

It looks like, unfortunately, I will again be away OS on the weekend. Especially
disapointing as I was one of those who suggested the Hornby light in the
first place. 

Maybe, next year?

73....Eric.

>Hi folks - its Lighthouse time again, on the weekend of August 19 & 20.

>This year the plan is to activate the two famous and historical lighthouses

>Light on South Head, around from Watson's Bay.

>The proposal is to do Macquarie on the Saturday (as per previous years)
and

>The last few years have been a lot of fun, with many club members taking

>on the way. Last year we officially racked up over 30 QSOs & hope to do
somewhat
