The Cape Espichel is located in Portugal, in the west of the village of
Sesimbra. It is bordered to the south and west by the Atlantic Ocean.
The lighthouse Cape Espichel is a Portuguese lighthouse that is located on
the cable of the same name. Hexagonal masonry tower and outbuildings. The
first construction date of 1430, but the tower acts was just opened in
1790. The support structure has been raised to the lighthouse side by 1900.

ILLW a Beacon of Hope

With 2 weeks to go, registrations have reached 300 with only 8
cancellations so far due to Covid 19 restrictions which have caused some
lighthouses to be off limits to the public as well as well meaning amateur
radio operators.

New to the event is Angels Gate lighthouse (see photo) in Los Angles
Harbour which will be operated from by boat, weather permitting.

Barbados has Ragged Point lighthouse entered and Bonaire is another new
country with Spelonk Lighthouse operated by PJ4DX.

Other smaller countries that are regular entries are Gibraltar with Europa
Point, Iceland with Knarraros lighthouse and Latvia with Uzava lighthouse.

The final 2 weeks leading up to the event usually results in 150 or so
registrations but whether this pattern continues this year remains to be
seen. Operators are of course, mindful of the need to comply with the laws
and restrictions that are in place in each country and the need to protect
their own health as well as those around them.

A lot of major events around the world have been cancelled but we decided
to keep the ILLW alive as a Beacon of Hope in these difficult times.

Enjoy the weekend but stay safe.
