JUPITER LIGHTHOUSE (US0025)-OPERATING AS W4JUP

During the third full weekend of August, the AYR Amateur Radio Group (AARG), sponsors the International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend. For this goodwill event, lighthouses around the world are activated by amateur radio operators to give them the proper historical recognition they deserve.

ILLW's Stated Purpose
The basic objective of the event is to promote public awareness of lighthouses and lightships and their need for preservation and restoration, and at the same time to promote amateur radio and to foster International goodwill. Lighthouses are fast becoming an endagered species with the introduction of Global Positioning Systems and Satellite Navigation and the automation of the light source to solar power which has resulted in the withdrawal of mangement personnel (Keepers). It is hoped that this event will highlight this situation and help prevent further desecration of these magnificent structures all around the world.

JTRG invites you stop by the Jupiter Lighthouse Park which is located adjacent to the lighthouse. 500 Captain Armours Way, Jupiter, FL 33477 We will have multiple stations operating in multiple modes. You are welcomed and encourged to come participate in the event.
