NZ Costal Lights Award
There are Two NZART Awards Aimed at the Lights and Lighthouses of the New Zealand Coastline.
The Guiding Light Award has been on the awards programme since November 1998 and remains as a award to achieve. Note the Activation Zones for the Leading Lights award are as listed on the NZART Website not the ones that are listed on the ontheair.nz site.
The Coastal Lights award has been created to allow to have a more Local feel and to allow Hams more choice in lights achieved. All lights for this award are listed on ontheair.nz This Award has been created to use the location of the 101 Lights that are under the control of Maritime Safety Authority (MSA) or Regional authorities. This is not the total number of lights around the NZ Coastline but a good representation of them.
