TCSWAT, after the successful ILOTA Istanbul Lighthouses On The Air activity, is organising MLOTA Marmara Lighthouses On The Air. During the ILLW International Lighthouse Lightship Weekend in August 2009, two new lighthouses Kocaeli Yelkenkaya Lighthouse (TC99K), Yalova Bozburun Lighthouse (TC99Y) were activated for the first time. Balyos Lighthouse on the South coast of Marmara sea was activated for the first in September 2009 with the callsign TC3BLH. Now, Marmara Eregli Lighthouse (TUR059) will be activated between 9 October and 11 October 2009 with the callsign TC1ELH. This is the first activation of the lighthouse. Activity will be as usual in HF bands, mainly on 20 and 40m SSB .
