Ken Eaton GW1FKY reports the Barry Amateur Radio Society will be active on
the amateur radio satellites during International Lighthouse Lightship
Weekend August 20-21.

The Barry Amateur Radio Society will be operating from a twin pair of
lighthouses located at Nash Point situated on the coast of the Bristol
Channel South Wales.

We will be active from approx. 0700-1600 GMT.

In addition to operating on the HF and VHF bands I also plan to set up my
portable satellite equipment for operation and contacts during suitable
passes.
