The Utility DXers Forum (UDXF) provides a centralized platform for exchanging news and information concerning utility radio stations and signals operating within the 0 to 30 MHz spectrum. It specifically excludes broadcasting, pirate, and amateur radio transmissions, concentrating instead on a diverse array of other signals. The resource details the types of stations covered, including maritime coastal and ship stations, aeronautical ground and aircraft communications (voice, HFDL, Selcalls, Volmet), military operations, various beacons (NDB, driftnet, propagation, pirate, high-frequency), fax transmissions, numbers stations, diplomatic communications, clandestines, and other unusual signals. Further content addresses radar systems such as Over-the-Horizon, Ocean Wave, and CODAR, alongside ionosondes, chirpsounders, ALE-systems, Selcall-systems, and tone calls. Experimental stations and standard frequency and time stations are also within its scope. The forum also acknowledges utility radio-related amateur events like the International Lighthouse Weekend and Night of Nights, providing a broader context for listeners. The site offers sections for modes, hardware, software, a utility radio archive, digital BC & HF conditions, and a utility radio club archive, along with QSLs and pennants.

The International Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend (ILLW) is an annual amateur radio operating event, typically held on the third full weekend in August, spanning **48 hours**. Originating in 1998 as the _Scottish Northern Lights Award_ by the Ayr Amateur Radio Group, the ILLW has evolved into a major international event. It encourages amateur radio operators to activate stations from lighthouses and lightships worldwide, fostering contacts and promoting maritime heritage. The event is characterized by its minimal rules, making it accessible and enjoyable for participants without the competitive pressure of traditional contests. Over 500 lighthouse entries from more than **40 countries** participate annually, contributing to August becoming recognized as "Lighthouse Month" within the amateur radio community. Unlike typical contests, the ILLW emphasizes participation and enjoyment over scoring or prizes for high contact counts. The site provides registration forms, entrant lists for upcoming years like 2026 and 2027, and reports from previous events, alongside historical context for the ILLW and related lighthouse activities such as the US National Lighthouse Week and the International Lighthouse Heritage Weekend.

Greek Lighthouse Award has been instituted by the Northern Greece Contest Team and will be issued to any Ham Radio operator or SWL for QSOs with (or reports from) amateur radio stations operating from Greek's lighthouses.
