Cape Cod National Seashore

Today I went to Wellfleet to see the Amateur Radio operation to commemorate the Cape Cod National Seashore and its 50 year history.
I had made contact on 40 meters earlier and it was a peaceful drive from Marion to Wellfleet. That is to say we didn't get blown off the road by the gusts of wind. I think the weather was approaching a gale and the rain was heavy at times too.
Arriving at the site of operation I was impressed with the setup. Two longwire antennas fed with ladder line. One for voice and one for CW. The stations were manned and operating and the guests were taking the tour in spite of the weather.
Look at http://www.qrz.com and put KW1CC in the search box located in the upper left corner of the page.
These types of events are a strong draw to the local historic sites and the special events for the public.
Well Done to the Marconi Cape Cod Radio Club!
