ARLA/CLUSTER: Falta menos de 1 mês para o ILLW 2013

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

ILLW is only a month away

The online registrations for the International Lighthouse and
Lightship Weekend on August 17-18 this year stands at 350 - with more
to come setting the scene for another record year.

In the lead is Germany on 53, just ahead of Australia with 52. Those
arch rivals are followed by the USA (40), England (31), Argentina
(21), with Sweden and a lot of late interest from Malaysia (both 15).

So far portable amateur radio stations are lined-up in 34 countries.
The aims of the fun event include raising the public awareness of the
old structures, their need for preservation, and engender goodwill.

A small but important representation comes from Belgium (2), Chile
(2), Curacao (1), Gibraltar (1), Honduras (1), Panama (1), Sri Lanka
(2), Taiwan (1), Turkey (1) and Ukraine (2).
