VO2AC - Canadian Lighthouse Operation

Operators Chris VE3FU (VO2AC), Frank VO1HP and Dave VE9CB (VO2AAA) will be active as VO2AC during the 2020 CQWW 160M CW Contest (January 24-26th) from the Point Amour Lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in Atlantic Canada, on the south coast of the rare Labrador (LB) multiplier.

Point Amour is located in the southeast part of CQ Zone 2 and has a saltwater path from NE clockwise through SW. The team will be putting in a serious Multi-Op/High-Power effort as VO2AC.

If time permits, they may also be active before the contest on 80m, 60m, 40m and the amateur radio FM satellites (AO- 85, AO-91 and AO-92) from Grid GO11.
