For some reason or other August seems to have become the international weekend for lighthouses. Countries all over the world have become involved in one form or another of lighthouse activity. Some years ago, the United States Congress declared August 7th as their National Lighthouse Day and during that first week in August amateur radio operators in America set up portable stations at lighthouses and endeavor to contact each other. This event is known as the US National Lighthouse / Lightship Week.? The Southwest Reef Lighthouse has been given the designation number US?176.
