registrations

The interesting *Avery Point Lighthouse* in the grounds of University of
Connecticut, has been named as the 100th registration for the annual
International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend, to be held in August.

*Dan Fegley W1QK* joined by others from the ARRL Amateur Radio Emergency
Service, will activate the octagonal brown coloured concrete block tower.

It has eight 200-watt bulbs on a lantern desk that provided navigation for
ships entering a cove east of Avery Point, and those passing through the
Pine Island Channel.

Although built by March 1943, it was not lit until May 1944 because of
concerns of possible enemy invasion.

The United States Coast Guard used the site for training including radio
communications and navigation.

Dan Fegley W1QK and the group will enjoy making contacts and explaining
Amateur Radio to a few visitors to the lighthouse.

Avery Point W1QK joins 15 other US lighthouses. This fun-event has Germany
and Australia with about 60 registrations each, then comes England among 22
countries so far.

If you would like to read the simple event guidelines, or make a
registration on the weekend of August 20-21, then visit the dedicated
website illw.net <http://www.illw.net/>
