This weekend is the International Lighthouse Lightship Weekend. The St Augustine Amateur Radio Society will be activating the Saint Augustine Lighthouse as N4AUG. Our plan is to setup and begin operating 8:30 am Saturday morning and continue until “it gets too hot”. We will also operate on Sunday from about 9 am and until the participants get tired and want to shut down. Please be sure to wear your SAARS membership ID.

Lighthouse weekend is a good opportunity for those that don’t get to operate on HF very often… Technician through Extra. Come join us, operate and have a good ole time.
