The 2022 International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend (ILLW) was held over the weekend of Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st August 2022.
I was unable to get out to activate a lighthouse this year, so whenever possible I snuck out to the shack to work some of the lighthouses.
I worked a total of 22 Australian lighthouse activators.

hi Paul, you got a lot more lighthouses than me! I was doing Cape St George, though I was using VK2PEZ for the lighthouse and VK2HQ, the club callsign, for the park as Bob and some of the others are very keen to have the club callsign activate as many parks as possible. It wasn’t that easy to make that clear though.
Hi Andrew,
I hope to get back over to Kangaroo Island next year with the call of VK5CWL at the Cape Willoughby lighthouse. This year I had to be content with the comfort of the shack.
73,
Paul VK5PAS.
