Amateur Radio Lighthouses: Awards and Activations
Find official websites, award programs, and event information for ham radio operators interested in lighthouses and lightships.
Amateur radio operators often engage in specialized operating activities that combine radio communication with other interests, such as the pursuit of lighthouses. This involves making contact with stations operating from or near lighthouses and lightships worldwide. These activities frequently culminate in the acquisition of various awards that recognize successful contacts and activations, fostering a unique sub-discipline within the amateur radio community.
Resources in this category support participation in lighthouse-related operating events and the application process for associated awards. This includes official websites for international events like the International Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend (ILLW), as well as national and regional award programs. Operators can find information on specific lighthouse activations, reference lists of lighthouses with amateur radio identifiers, and details on submitting QSLs or logs to qualify for awards. These platforms facilitate the exchange of information necessary for successful participation and award attainment, often maintained by organizations such as the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society (ARLHS).
