The Awashima lighthouse radio station


More Japanese lighthouse radio stations go on. This is a QSL card from one of Awashima located in Niigata facing with the Sea of Japan (other side of the Pacific Ocean). This station is one of the strongest one here in Saitama all through the night. The frequency is 1670.5kHz, and the power is only 50 watts. They are on the air every day at 47 minutes of every hour for approx. one minute.
The Japan Coast Guard celebrate their 60th anniversary this year, and the recent QSL card has the special logo like the above.
