Good Afternoon,
Once again W2LGA will be set up inside the Derrick Boat at the H Lee White Maritime Museum in Oswego New York for the International Lighthouse / Lightship Weekend event. We will be there both Saturday and Sunday August 16th and 17th. This will mark the 18th year W2LGA has participated in this event. I will be operating on most Amateur Bands using CW, Phone, and some FT8. Time of operation will be from 9am until 5pm both days weather permitting! Please stop by and work the rig and make some contacts …. Almost 400 lighthouses and lightships world wide have already signed up to participate!! Details can be found at ILLW.net.

Here is a great combination … Ham Radio and Lighthouses! Do you like both or
you may be interested in lighthouses? Do you want to join a global event that
celebrates the heritage and importance of these maritime beacons? If so, you
won't want to miss the annual International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend
(ILLW) on August 16th and 17th from 10AM-4PM, celebrated right here in Rochester in Charlotte, one of Rochester's great destinations! The ILLW is one of the
most popular international amateur radio events in existence, attracting over 500
lighthouse entries from over 40 countries every year. It is not a contest but a fun
and friendly way to make contact with other ham radio operators around the
world who share a passion, fondness, or interests in lighthouses.
