International Lighthouse Weekend 1993

 


International Lighthouse Weekend 1993. St Abbs Lighthouse Berwickshire. Derrick Dance GM4CX/P on my trusty old TS430S. Derrick was so impressed he bought one !

We were unable to operate inside the building so we just threw out a wire across a gully plonked our butts down on the ground and roughed it. There was also an official club station on the air from the same location.
