    GB0NL Newhaven Lighthouse

    GB0NL Newhaven Lighthouse - The Newhaven Fort Amateur Radio Group & Downlands Radio Group

    Overview of the Newhaven Lighthouse

    The Newhaven Fort Amateur Radio Group & Downland Radio Group setup a Special Event Station for the ‘International Lighthouse Lightship Weekend’, normally each year. The lighthouse which is located at the end of the breakwater, in the town of Newhaven, was built in 1892 and refurbished in 2009.

    We have contacted stations worldwide including Japan on 20 metres. The amateur radio event station itself is located from the Fort which overlooks the lighthouse - it is the closest safe location for the event (the lighthouse is located at the end of the breakwater, which is dangerous and closed to the public. You will see some interesting pictures of the waves over the lighthouse further down during the 2016 event).

    On The Air Dates:

    Next Event: 19th & 20th August 2017. Last Event: August 20th & 21st 2016.

    Pictures of Newhaven Lighthouse & Station in the Fort from 2016 ‘International Lighthouse & Lightship Weekend’

    It was very windy indeed on the Saturday, and the view over to the Lighthouse showed a very choppy sea indeed.
    We hope to speak to you on the air soon,
