Calling the world from the lighthouse

Over last weekend the Gibraltar Amateur Radio Society was active from the Lighthouse on the Ham Radio Bands, calling the world.

The Lighthouse event as it’s called, happens every year in August during the 3rd weekend, the purpose of this event is to put Gibraltar Lighthouse on the Air, using the special Call sign ZB2LGT, this year was a success over 2000 contacts were made on various modes of Transmission, including voice, Data and the traditional Morse Code, just a few of the contacts made were to New Zealand, Saudi Arabia and Argentina and most of Europe, plus many other light houses were contacted, that were participating in the same event.

GARS (Gibraltar Amateur Radio Society) would like to thank Terry the Lighthouse keeper for use of the area and also another thank you to Sharrock Shands for use of the staff canteen porta cabin.
This year 4 local Ham Stations were involved:
Ronald Pincho (ZB2B)
John M King (ZB2JK)
Stephen Moreno (ZB3R)

*Any one interested in Ham Radio should visit the club house at Coaling Island every Wednesday at 8:30pm; this is an informal meeting and can be introduced into Ham Radio.

Greeting from S. Central Washington State!

I enjoy Ham Radio, particularly aspects of antenna performance and radio wave propagation (a science and an art.) Rarely pass-up a Rag-chew via any mode.  Background includes HF-UHF communications op, analyst and/or consultant for the USAF & Joint military operations.  Also twisted wrenches to service and repair flight/power control systems on jet fighter aircraft, specifically the F-15 A-D.

CURRENT ANTENNAS:

HF:

10m vertical, 5/8th (MAX 2000)  Tweaked the coil and added GP elements for 10, 12 & 15 meters.  Antenna is roof mounted @ 38' with a fiberglass mast to reduce noise.  Good to excellent performance on 10-15m.

80M OFFSET-DIPOLE (WINDOM, Vertical radiator design) @ 40'. Good performer on 80,40,20 & 17M.

VHF/UHF:

2M/440 DIAMOND X510HDN @ 38'.  Excellent performance
2M/440 DIAMOND X-50NA @ 25'.  A remarkable general ops & test antenna.
2M HOME BREW "Double Copper Cactus" J-Pole" @ 15'  Simple design, reliable performance.

Prior calls & ops:

KB7IZE 89' - 93' (Mobile, 10-15m)

KA8ZE (Auxilliary Military Radio station, Misawa AB, JP, USAF, 90' - 93'.) HF DX, AMTOR, PACTOR, RTTY, CW and VHF simplex voice & packet.  SATCOM and Moon-bounce.

AFA8TM MARS, (Far East Japan.91'-93')

N3OLO (Ft. Meade, MD 93' - 95') 2m/70cm repeaters, simplex FM & packet.  HF DX

KD5LCD (San Antonio, Kelly AFB, TX. USAF, 96' - 04')  HF DX

KF7RFK (Yakima, WA, 11' - 12') SATCOM & Simplex VHF.  As always, HF.
K7RFK (Vanity call, dropped the low grade "F" for CW brevity hihi)

Hope to QSO!

I was first licenced in March 1973. I came on the air with a Heathkit HW-101 Transceiver and a G5RV antenna. The HW 101 was later replaced with a Yaesu FT-101B Transceiver, and a home made 3 Band 2 Element Cubical Quad completed the antenna farm.In 1977 other pursuits had to be given priority, and I became inactive. I sold my station in the same year and I was QRT. I never imagined at the time, it would be 27 years before I would be back on the air again.
In January 2004 I was able to return to the hobby. My Station comprised of an Icom-746, and once again a G5RV antenna. What a joy it was to be back on the air! Later, a Carolina Windom 80, and a Carolina Windom 80 Special replaced the G5RV.
Having retired in October 2006 after a 44-year career in the Public Service, I now have more time to play radio. There have also been a number of changes to the station since 2004 as well.
My current station comprises – a 5 Band Heavy Duty Spiderbeam at 10 meters above ground. (I still have my Carolina Windoms). A Yaesu FT-950, and a Icom IC-7410.
Since putting up the Spiderbeam, entries in my log have certainly increased from the many pile-ups I have been in. My favourites bands are 17, 15, 12 and 10 meters. I also get on 40 meters occasionally.
I do not chase DX. I have no need to really. I work whoever comes along. I simply enjoy giving Hams a chance to put a ZD7 in their logs. I respond to all requests for QSL Cards providing they are accompanied by 2 US Dollars (or Euro or Sterling notes) and an SAE. PLEASE! do not send coins or stamps. AND do not QSL via VE1AIH who was my QSL Manager. (He is now a Silent Key anyway). Getting a card back to you could take 3-8 weeks, this is beyond my control, as ZD7 land does not have an air service. So please be patient.
