This weekend August 18, and 19th the World Wide international Lighthouse and Light ship weekend is happening in Cape Vincent New York
The International Lighthouse Lightship Weekend (ILLW), is an amateur radio event held on the THIRD FULL WEEKEND of August. The event had its beginnings in 1993 in the club rooms of the Ayr Amateur Radio Group in Scotland, and now more than 470 lighthouses in over 55 countries participate. Including Tibbetts Point lighthouse
The basic format of the event is that a local amateur radio club will set up a radio station either in, or near to, a lighthouse. They will then operate from that station over the whole or part of the weekend. The goal is to contact other amateur stations, particularly those operating from other lighthouse sites.
