INTERNATIONAL LIGHTHOUSE LIGHTSHIP WEEKEND (ILLW)

INTERNATIONAL LIGHTHOUSE LIGHTSHIP WEEKEND (ILLW)

 

The INTERNATIONAL LIGHTHOUSE LIGHTSHIP WEEKEND is one of the world’s most popular amateur radio events, held annually on the third full weekend of August.  Operators set up portable stations near lighthouses to promote maritime heritage, support lighthouse preservation and make international radio contacts.  This event traditionally attracts over 500 lighthouse entries in over 40 countries.  One of the reasons for its popularity is that there are very few rules and no prizes. 

The Lunenburg County Amateur Radio Club is excited to announce that they will be hosting this event this year on SUNDAY AUGUST 16th at FORT POINT MUSEUM.
