ILLW Final Countdown
Two weeks to go with 335 registrations received, organisers are expecting another 100 over the next 14 days.Leading the field is Germany with 53 entries, USA with 48, Australia 39 and England 24. Just as important are the 17 countries with only one entry each some of which are sought after by DXers and award hunters. Some are the Canary Islands, Gibraltar, Panama Canal, Namibia, Latvia, Trinidad and Tobago, Serbia and Market Reef.
One entry worthy of note which was received today from GB2LG, the Wigtownshire ARC, for the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse. This club was a participant in the Northern Lighthouse Activity award 26 years ago and which became the International Lighthouse Lightship Weekend in 1998.
GB2LG has been at the same lighthouse with the same call sign since 1993. There are several other entrants who have been in the ILLW continuously since 1998 and these have been acknowledged with an appropriate certificate. Please let me know if you are eligible for one of these certificates.
Keep the Flame,
