The dates have been announced for the annual International Lighthouse and Lightship weekend. They are Saturday August 15th and Sunday August 16th 2015.
At this long-established event, various ham radio clubs around the country (and the world) operate from lighthouses and lightships. Cape Town Amateur Radio Centre will certainly be setting up a station this year, as always, at the Mouille Point lighthouse on the western seaboard of Cape Town.
We will require the assistance of members to load the equipment at the clubhouse in Rondebosch, transport it across to Mouille Point, assemble the station there (all on Saturday morning), operate the station throughout the 24 hour period, then take down the station and antennas on Sunday afternoon, transport it back to Rondebosch and repack it in the clubhouse.
Still
two months ahead, but please diarise August 15 and 16 in
your diaries!
