Purposes of the ARLHS:

The purposes for which this society is formed are:

  • To promote public awareness of the role ham radio and light beacons have played in assisting and maintaining safety at sea.
  • To preserve the heritage and history of lighthouses and lightships
  • To aid in preserving those lights in danger of destruction or decay
  • To recognize the keepers of the lights as maritime heroes
  • To foster camaraderie within the ham fraternity
  • To provide fellowship amongst nations and members of the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society

Membership:
Subscription to membership in the
Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society
includes a membership certificate, an embroidered ARLHS logo 3-inch shoulder patch*, and a subscription to the electronic online newsletter that is published somewhat sporadically throughout the year.

Member subscribers are assigned a unique, life-time member number that is used in various on-the-air events, and they are entitled to use the Society's logo on envelopes, QSL's, and stationery as long as their membership remains active.

Membership in the ARLHS will also automatically enroll you in the International Lighthouse-Lightship Organization (ILLW) at NO CHARGE. Your ARLHS member number will be part of your ILLW registration and you will be listed in the ILLW database for ILLW events.

For legal reasons, we assume you agree to the usual terms of membership described in the "User Agreement."

Application for membership is on Page 4. Inquire about charter franchises by sending an e-mail to weidner [at] waterw.com. Terms of subscription may be changed at any time without notice.
