Hello everyone,
The yearly Lighthouse & Lightship Weekend is coming closer!
The dates are the 16th and 17th of August.
We as a group will be up at Flagstaff Hill, set up and operating our radios with other operators around the world in the international event. The group will be up there at 10am, accessible to the public and are more than willing to answer any questions about radio.

We look forward to this amazing event and would also like to thank the owners and staff at Flagstaff Hill for allowing us back to take part in such an exhilarating event.

If you would like more information on this, visit our webpage;

We can't wait to see everybody up there.
