Historic entry for ILLW

25 years ago on 28th August 1993 the very first Northern Lighthouse Weekend
Activity took place managed by Mike Dalrymple GM4SUC of the Ayr Amateur
Radio Group.

One of the 10 entrants in the event was the Wigtownshire Amateur Radio Club
which operated from the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse using the club callsign
*GB2LG*. The Ayr Amateur Radio Group also participated in the weekend
activity from the famous Turnberry Lighthouse with the callsign *GB2LT*.

Having proved to be a popular event and which other countries wanted to
take part in, it became known as the *International Lighthouse Lightship
Weekend* some 5 years later.

In order to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the NLWA, the Wigtownshire
ARC has registered at the same lighthouse with the same callsign for this
year’s ILLW event.

They will be joined by members of the Ayr Amateur Radio Group as well due
to the fact that Turnberry lighthouse is now the private property of the US
President Donald Trump who bought the property in 2012 no doubt due to its
proximity to the famous Ailsa golf course.

The full story on the sale of Turnberry as well as this year’s entrants
list and entry form are on our web site at https://illw.net
