Dear friends,
This week end of 16th/17th August, will be very interesting for
those of you who hunt lighthouses. AT8LH from Mahabalipuram
Lighthouse Old(IND-011) and New (IND-016) would be activated by a
group of amateurs from BARC/LCI Please try to have a QSO and do not
engage into a rag-chew, so that AT8LH can have many QSOs, within the
short time at their disposal.
Thank you.

Get it right. It's not the International Lighthouse/Lightship Week, it's the International Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend. It's not run by the ARLHS, but by the AYR Radio Group of Scotland. And the correct URL is http://illw.net
ReplyDeleteW8TTS is right. While there may be some awards or certificates available from ARLHS for working lighthouses it is NOT the official and original registration and home site for the ILLW (International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend) event. This is www.illw.net, and has been under the wing of the Ayr group since its inception.
