 The ILLW reaches a milestone

The honour of being the 200th registration in the International
Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend in August, goes to the Whitby High
Light GB2WHL in England.

The special event station GB2WHL, by the Denby Dale Radio Club, is on
the North Yorkshire coast near the historic fishing town of Whitby -
well known as the place Captain James Cook became a seaman before
leading his epic voyages of discovery.

Built in 1858 it helped ships avoid the Whitby Rock, close to the
harbour entrance.

The lighthouse, now on private grounds, is reached with its owner's
permission via narrow roads. A special QSL card is available on
request.

So far there are registrations from 29 countries. To read the
guidelines for the International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend on
August the 17th and 18th or to register online a lighthouse, lightship
or maritime beacon, visit the website at www.illw.net
