British Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society Guidelines For Validating Activation of a Lighthouse It is NOT necessary to be in a lighthouse to activate it. When activating a lighthouse please try to operate as close as is possible to the lighthouse without breaking any trespass laws, the lighthouse must be in sight. If activating a Rock Lighthouse like Beachy Head or Bell Rock again please try to operate from the nearest point on the coast to the lighthouse with the lighthouse in sight. For Island Lighthouses like Longstone, Inner Farne, Coquet Etc Etc you must be on the island where the lighthouse is situated, with the lighthouse in sight. Operation of an island lighthouse must be from the named island to warrant IOTA references or WAB details. A photograph of EVERY lighthouse activated must be sent to the Society before activity is deemed valid *These will be returned if so requested. * Photographs not returned will be forwarded to the LSGB for archive use. Your photographs will be used on the Award Certificates for stations claiming your activity as part or all of their claims if they are acceptable. BARLS is based on trust and honesty, we trust you to be honest when giving out details of your activity, Ham spirit is paramount. N.B.
