KG8EF operated on Museum Ships Weekend

Special event station KG8 "Edmund Fitzgerald"  had a very successful operation during the 2010 Museum Ships Weekend. The folks at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point were a great host and we had a fantastic time! After making over 1900 QSO's and talking with many people about the "Fitz", it was evident that Edmund Fitzgerald and its crew has a very special status in the annals of Maritime and American history.

Again, we would like to extend a big Thank You to the people at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum. We were able to operate in a building at the base of Lighthouse USA #887. The accommodations were great!

If any of you are visiting Michigan's Upper Peninsula, we would highly suggest that you visit the shipwreck museum and memorial . It is will worth the drive!   

Thanks again for calling into "Killowatt Golf Eight Edmund Fitzgerald"
