                         NORTHERN LIGHTHOUSE WEEKEND
                                     and
                    LIGHTHOUSE/LIGHTSHIP ACTIVITY WEEKEND


During the weekend 23-24 August 1997  there will be  taking place two  events
associated with lighthouses and lightships.  The first event is The  Northern
Lighthouse  Weekend  when  ten  Scottish  amateur  radio  stations  will   be
established at lighthouses  around Scotland.   Running  concurrent with  this
event is the Lighthouse/Lightship Activity Weekend when amateur radio station
will be established at lighthouses/lightships around the world.

Both events will be from 9 UTC on Saturday  23 August until 17 UTC on  Sunday
24 August 1997.  Some of the lighthouses are located in very isolated  places
far from any facilities and cannot be expected to be QRV all night,  however,
all stations will be QRV between 9 and 17 UTC on both Saturday and Sunday.

Participating stations will add "LIGHT",  "LGT", "LIGHTHOUSE" or  "LIGHTSHIP"
after the call.  The Scottish stations  may not use the 'ident' because  they
already have a special callsign with a suffix to match the name of their QTH.

Operations will take place  on the following  frequencies: between 3.510  and
3.540, 7.005-7.035  and  14.010-14.040  MHz  CW;  between  3.650  and  3.750,
