Beachin' … on the Radio



We've got islands on the air, as well as summits, parks, lighthouses, zoos and even pubs! Now add one more to the list: beaches. 
According to Newsline, the Beaches On The Air program was started by two Spanish hams, EC1CW and EA1LQ, in late 2015. As with most "OTA" programs, there are separate challenges and recognitions for both "activators" and "chasers."
For those without a seashore nearby, don't worry. Newsline reports that shorelines of inland lakes and rivers count as well. For more information, visit <www.beachesontheair.com> or <https://www.facebook.com/beachesontheair/>.
