Grosse Point Lighthouse Special Event Station

Evanston, Illinois

 

On August 5, 2001, Metro Amateur Radio Club (MAC) conducted a Special Event at Grosse Point Lighthouse in Evanston, Illinois. The event was dedicated to Bob Heytow, K9YA SK, an active member of MAC. Metro Amateur Radio Club was successful in acquiring the special 1 x 1 callsign, K9Y for the event.

Bob was a 31-year veteran of the the Evanston Police Department earning the rank of Lieutenant. This event was attended by Evanston Police Chief Frank Kaminski and Sergeant Timothy Schoolmaster. Also in attendance was Bob's brother Dick Heytow, K9YAZ, and many of his ham radio friends. Below are some pictures of the event.
