ARLA/CLUSTER: Alemanha igualou os EUA em n.º de registos para o ILLW 2017

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

This weekend for lighthouses

The 20th annual *International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend*has so far
attracted 430 registrations from throughout the world and a few more may be
received.

The 400th is the Gollwitz lighthouse DL1SWB in Germany that defines the
proper approach to Poel Island and Wismar for ships arriving from the
Baltic. The building was in poor repair when East and West Germany
reunified, but is now renovated.

The aims of the fun-event include raising public awareness of this old
navigation that use to keep sailors safe in treacherous coastal waterways.
It always helps publicise Amateur Radio and portable operations to the
general public.

Both Germany and the USA have 63 registrations each, followed by Australia
60, England on 30, with 45 countries in all throughout Europe, Africa,
Asia, Oceania and the Americas.

Have a listen; give them a call – many can tell you the history of their
location and also have a special QSL card. A list of them is at illw.net
