I’m headed out to do a recon of this lighthouse. It has been inactive since 1941. 35 ft (11 m) square cylindrical wood tower with lantern and gallery, rising from a 2-story wood keeper’s house, originally mounted on a screwpile foundation. The original 4° Fresnel lens is still mounted in the tower. Originally located near the western end of Albemarle Sound off the mouth of the Roanoke River, about 6 miles (10 km) northeast of Plymouth. The lighthouse was relocated in 1955 to downtown Edenton (on the other side of Albemarle Sound) and used first as a rental property and then, from 1960, as the private residence of Emmett Wiggins. The house has been vacant and deteriorating since the death of Mr. Wiggins in 1995. In May 2005 the Lighthouse Preservation Society of Newburyport, Massachusetts, secured an option to purchase the lighthouse from the Wiggins estate. The plan is to move the lighthouse to a publicly-owned site nearby and restore it as a museum.
I recently failed to renew my subscription to Popular Communications…. just seemed like I had too much to read and the broad coverage of POPCOMM wasn’t focused for my needs. But what I miss reading is the column near the very back of the magazine by Bill Price, N3AVY. The rambling musings are always amusing. But is it worth renewing my subscription? If I could find another column or two that I found consistently worthwhile, I’d renew.
There’s been a lot of chatter lately about Scouts and ham radio. It sounds like there are a handfull of summer camps that have amateur radio stations that are active. I have been meaning to register with the local Boy Scouts of America council as a Radio Merit Badge councelor… but have not done so yet. Scouting is a great program and if you can expose the young Scouts to amateur radio early on, there might be some success in recruiting future hams.
Here is a list of the known traffic nets within the Virginia Section
The handheld digital multimeter (DMM) is a basic tool for ham radio applications. Here is a list of 10 things you can do with a DMM.
