Over the weekend, members of the Limerick Clare Amateur Radio Club gathered at Loop Head Lighthouse on the Shannon Estuary for the 26th annual International Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend.
The club made contact with lighthouses and lightships from around the world, including in Japan and Australia. Visitors to the lighthouse were able to listen in to communications with amateur radio stations across the globe during the 48-hour broadcast.
The event was a success, with positive feedback from visitors and a special QSL card designed to mark the occasion. Loop Head Lighthouse Experience is one of Ireland's 17 Great Lighthouses and a popular attraction in West Clare.
