ARLHS
Activator Award
Award Rules
- This is a certificate for the lighthouse station activator who has activated
10 or more different lighthouses for the ARLHS Awards Program. Following the basic award,
endorsements by 10 may be received up to a total of 80. At the 100 level, a special gold "Century Club Award" is given. All lighthouses activated can be claimed
as worked, whether by an individual or team effort (all operators will receive
credit for activating the lighthouse). The ARLHS Activator
Award is not available to SWL's.
- All ARLHS General Rules and requirements are applicable.
- All lighthouse operations for this award must have been made from the area of the light
or beacon in accordance with the ARLHS definition of such at the time of operation. Currently,
this is defined as being "within visual sight of the light or beacon." However, beginning
February 1, 2002, the following criteria apply: Physical
presence on the property is preferred, of course; but a property adjacent to that of the
light is also acceptable. However, operation within a distance not to exceed 1000 meters
(or 1100 yards or 3300 feet) must in any case be utilized, with the following possible
exception: In situations where these
alternatives are not physically possible, are dangerous, or are prohibited, the distance
rule is suspended and the operation should take place as close as physically possible
while at the same time ensuring safe operation and abidance to all laws.
