International Lightship Lighthouse Weekend - Saturday August 16th- Sunday the 17th, 2025
Short Wave Radio operators will set up and broadcasting as part of the International Lightship Weekend! From ILLW.net, "The ILLW usually takes place on the 3rd full weekend in August each year and attracts over 500 lighthouse entries located in over 40 countries. It is one of the most popular international amateur radio events in existence probably because there are very few rules and it is not the usual contest type event." You will be able to see Radio Operators in action and witness them contact other parts of the world through the radio waves! How neat! Reminder: Inclement weather may cancel or delay this event. We apologize for any inconvenience.
