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.
On 12 or 13 July Chris will activate the following US lighthouses:
USA-527 Nash Island Light

On 15 July he will activate:
