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?

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. (:-))
