Lighthouses & Lightships

Lighthouses & Lightships

My dear friend Ray Forrester. K4RRF (SK) got me involved in chasing lighthouse (and lightship) activations some years ago. What a great activity this is as folks venture out to lighthouse (lightship) activations in a kinds of weather (and bug) conditions. The Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society is the headquarters of a great awards program for activators and lighthouse chasers alike. Below are some of the ones I’ve had the joy of contacting.
