I know! it is amazing, I am so thankful I got to go see it first hand. I cant imagine staying there for weeks or months at a time. It took us 4 hours on a relatively fast boat to get there.
Ham radio operators like to set up stations in challenging conditions without any permanent modifications just to see if we can do it. In less than 24 hours we made contacts with stations all over the world including Russia, New Zealand, Mexico, and Fiji. We were also trying to bring attention to the efforts of Superior Watershed Partnership to keep this light operational and in good condition. Sorry I didnt go in the basement! It was quite dangerous to walk around down there and I didnt want to do so while filming and not paying attention 100%
