(ILLW). Operators will be Leonardo/TA1FR and Tevfik/TA1HZ. Detailed information
is available at: http://tc1lhw.tripod.com/index.html

Look for TA2RX to activate the Taslik Gelidonya Lighthouse
(TUR-049) for the first time during the ILLW. There is no electricity
or generator there. Due to the hard conditions to reach the lighthouse
- nearest road suitable for vehicle traffic is 2 kms away - the operator
will be operating QRP, using a car battery (He has to carry all the equipment
for 2 miles on foot). Operations will be only 20 and 40 meters. So watch
out for this QRP DXpedition.
Station W2T will be activated by members of the Old
Barney ARC from the Tucker's Island Lighthouse (ARLHS USA-911) on Saturday,
August 18th, from about 1300z through 2100z. QSL via N2OO. Visit the following
