International Lighthouse / Lightship Weekend

This highly popular annual amateur radio event (not a contest) will be held over the weekend of 16-17 August 2008.

There were 380 lights on the air from 48 countries last year.

All you need to know about the event is contained on the official web site at http://illw.net which has been the official web site since 2001.

The event is organized and managed by the Ayr Amateur Radio Group in Scotland since the passing of the founder of the weekend, Mike Dalrymple, GM4SUC, in December 2005.
