July 2019 Activations

A big package arrived in the mail today with the details of an eight-day island and lighthouse activation holiday from Chris, VE3CBK.

I have no actual timings or frequencies, just the date of the activation.  If I get the missing info I will add it to this page.

While this is a long list of Lighthouse numbers, the two islands being activated at the same time are fairly rare and are well worth getting in your log.
