INTERNATIONAL LIGHTHOUSE/LIGHTSHIP WEEKEND
|
GM4SUC SK |
The following list contains lighthouses and lightships that have been active in the event since 2007.
And is the only OFFICIAL list of lighthouses and lightships used by the
International Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend
If your lighthouse is not on this list, go to the OFFICIAL ON-LINE ENTRY FORM and tell us about it.
Lighthouse: Generally regarded as a structure that is or has been listed officially as an aid to navigation in
a recognized publication such as the British Admiralty List of Light and Foghorns, and which falls into the
classic concept of a lighthouse. For example, a substantial tower having an internal staircase, a revolving
Fresnel lens and had or has a designated lighthouse keeper. Also permitted are lighthouses that have been
moved to a museum for historic reasons.
But, the fact that a light has been listed in official documents such as the "British Admiralty List of Lights and
Foghorns", the "USCG Light List", or the "NGA List of Lights, Radio Aids and Fog Signals", and for example,
on the ARLHS list of lights, does not automatically qualify the structure for this event. Such lights as range
lights, channel markers, skeletal towers, and breakwall lights will probably not be accepted. Examples of some
lights which have been submitted for the event, but which have been rejected can be seen on this web page.
Remember, the operation from faux or false lighthouses, lights on poles, lights that no longer exist, etc. is
discouraged as they are not within the spirit of the event.
*The DXCC entity comes from the current ARRL DXCC LIST.
The ILLW Numbers are assigned using the list of current Internet Top-level Domains (TLDs) as the prefix.
