As discussed on the ARES net April 16, some of us are thinking about taking part in an international lighthouse Ham Radio event. This would take place on the weekend of August 16/17, but we may do just one day. At first glance, it looks like the best locations are on Lake Huron, in Point Clarke, Goderich or Kincardine, but we need to do more research if there is interest.

For information on the event:

Read the original book (First Edition Amateur Radio Pedestrian Mobile Handbook) which has now been released for free....by Edward R. Breneiser, WA3WSJ as a PDF.
This is because there is now a newer printed edition which you are encouraged to to purchase.
Lots and lots of useful information to gleam. Not just for PM. Any outside work.
Heres the blurb.
The purpose of this handbook is to provide the amateur radio operator who is interested in operating pedestrian mobile with the needed information to get on the airwaves. Hopefully, with this information the average amateur radio operator will have enough knowledge to build and operate a pedestrian mobile amateur radio station.
