N1L - Number 1 Lighthouse
Conanicut Island, RI007S
and Beavertail Lighthouse, RI's oldest
Page WA3EOP &  Al KZ3AB
July 2007



Beavertail Light is seen lit against the near midnight sky.
We ran 50 watts out to a High Sierra Antenna and on 20, 40 and 75 made
a total on 232 qsos. Had a Huge Pileup from Europe that lasted 90
minutes till the band closed there. Still, worked 13 countries
including 36 DX. Had 2 calls on the air on 20, N1L for Number One
Lighthouse and as Beavertail is RI's oldest Lighthouse, and
WA3EOP/mobile so everyone worked will be getting 2 cards.


We were visited on the Island by KO1U who drove 2 hours from NH to meet us and
work us across parking lots, and by KD1EJ who drove in from
Mainline R.I.


Conanicut Island was part of a 5 day/night operating adventure for Al
and myself.  We operated from W1AW and the Connecticut Capital on Day 1.
Day 2 took us to Boston, the Mass Capital.
Day three was the bee's knees, at Beavertail. Day 4 found us in Trenton,
the New Jersey Capital and Day 5 from Annapolis, the MD Capital.
