Almost 300 lighthouses... will be on the air for the 2010 International Lighthouse/Lightship weekend, 8/21- 8/22.

And if they have an APRS radio and change their SYMBOL to the lighthouse symbol, then we can see them on http://aprs.fi

Or, if enough of them select the Lighthouse symbol, then you can see them on:

And, they can all communicate with each other and anyone else on the planet's APRS radio by sending an APRS message to CQSRVR with the first two words of the message being "CQ LOTA ..."

See how www.aprs.org/cqsrvr.html

AN easy way to make contact. Bob, Wb4APR
