ILLW reaches 100 milestone

A prompt on the social media Facebook on New Year's Eve about the then
vacant 100th registration in theInternational Lighthouse and Lightship
Weekend received an almost instant reply from Germany.

Quick off the mark was Gerhard Impekoven DJ9QE, who will activate the
Oland Light, Germany's smallest lighthouse standing 7.4 metres (24
feet) tall, built with brick and the country's only one with a
thatched roof.

The cross light in the tricky waterways off the small North Frisian
island has continuous white, red and green sectors. Gerhard will be
sent a  certificate acknowledging his 100th registration.

So far 17 countries have registered with the leaders being Australia
34, Germany 22, England 10 and 8 from USA. It's no surprise that the
leaders have 70% of all registrations to date.

Other made come from Argentina, Canada, Finland, Ireland, Malaysia,
Northern Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Scotland,
Sweden and Wales.

The 18th International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend is on the 15th
and 16th of August. For the easy guidelines and to register please
