LIGHT HOUSE WEEKEND 16TH/17TH AUGUST 2008

The Radio Society of Sri Lanka will be activating its annual Light House Special Call sign 4S7LGT  from Barbaryn Island Light House  at Beruwala on the Western Coast of Sri Lanka.  This also qualifies as AS 171 for IOTA.  The operations from AS 171 Barbaryn needs special permission  from the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka and is subject to the approval of the Sri Lanka Ports Authority, Harbour Master.  So this is an opportunity for IOTA operators as well to make a valid contact.  There had been claims of operating AS 171 by 4S7DXG which unfortunately was neither from the Island nor a valid operation from  AS 171. We shall be QRV on 40m upwards depending on conditions, both CW/SSB from this beautiful Light House. A special QSL card will also be issued. 

QSL requests to
4S7LGT,
Secretary RSSL,
P. O. Box 907,
Colombo. Sri Lanka.
 
Cards will be sent via the Buro. For direct cards some form of return postage SASE will be appreciated.
