Visit to K4L St. George Lighthouse Expedition

Linda and I made the trip to St. George Island FL to visit the St George Lighthouse Expedition. We found the lighthouse was decorated with dipoles and a vertical. There were a couple of rigs outside and a couple in the keepers house.  Lots of interesting gear. The operators are friendly and are working pretty hard making contacts.  You can find out more about K4L at http://qrz.com/db/K4L Maybe you can work them on the air. I worked them on 6 meters from the other end of the island.
Charlie Wooten from Panama City was there. He is a member of the DX club and also the Panama City ARC. The lighthouse also has a small museum and gift shop.
