International Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend

00:01 UTC Sat 18-Aug-07 to 23:59 UTC Sun 19-Aug-07

This weekend radio activity is sponsored by the Ayr Amateur Radio Group and participants from around 51 different countries join the event.
The IOMARS will have a station operating from the Point of Eyre (WAB NX40, IO74TB).
This is not a contest but has been developed to “Promote Public awareness of lighthouses and lightships and their need for preservation and restoration. Also to promote Amateur Radio and to foster International goodwill”.

This is always a good weekend for radio activity so why not offer your help and support to our members working from the most northern point of the Island.
