Internaional Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend (ILLW) will be held on
August 15 and 16, starting at 0001 UTC on Saturday and finishing at 2359 UTC on Sunday.
The purpose is to promote public awareness of
lighthouses and lightships and their need for preservation and restoration. It’s not a contest — lighthouses and lightships are encouraged to make contact with any amateur radio stations worldwide.

Above shows the approximate location of the lighthouse at the corner of St Laurent and Lancaster and Gladwin Cres.
In the past few years I have participated in this and other Lighthouse events from this location with the last being April 2009. Check out my Survivorham Blog for more details
The last operation was with the Special Event Prefix XL3 which if I remember correctly was for the anniversary of the St Lawrence Seaway.
More on this event closer to the actual date…
