<p><span style="font-size:16px"><strong>From 16 and 19 August 2024, the Maritime Museum "Sergej Ma拧era" Piran was glad and proud to host in its new dislocated unit, on the premises of the former lighthouse keeper's residence, where an exhibition about the Piran lighthouse is currently on display, radio amateurs who interconnect with the world.</strong> <strong> </strong></span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:16px">These dedicated people, participants of the 24th ILLW session (International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend), associated once more from the Piran lighthouse via radio stations with other radio amateurs at 499 lighthouses on all seas and continents. Each participating lighthouse has been assigned an identification mark, with the Piran lighthouse carrying the designation SI-0001. The event, which has traditionally been held in the third week of August for 24 years, is internationally highly recognized and is tribute to all lighthouse keepers, mariners, and others who used and often still use radio waves for communication in the digitalized world. This kind of associating also signifies the preservation of an exceptional technical and intangible heritage which even these days, particularly in the event of disasters, demonstrates to be an effective alternative to the frequently-failed digital connections. Even during their stay and activities, it was possible to visit the lighthouse and the regularly scheduled exhibition and learn much about the international ILLW project. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:16px">Radio amateurs were also paid a visit at the lighthouse on Sunday by a few members of the VVP (Voga Veneta Piran), which operates within the framework of the Italian Community of Piran. The museum councilor Du拧ka 沤itko acquainted the guests with the exhibition'contest,while radio amateurs demonstrated the functioning of a radio station and successfully got in touch with a remote radio receiver at a lighthouse in Brazil!</span></p> <p><a href="https://illw.net/"><span style="font-size:16px">https://illw.net/</span></a></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:16px">P</span><span style="font-size:14px">hotos: <br /> - S53RA<br /> - Du拧ka 沤itko<br /> - Sara Mu拧i膷沤etko<br /> - Sandra Loboda</span></p> </div> <div class="padding-b-3rem"> <div class="gallerypage"> <div class="picture"> <div> <a href="https://pomorskimuzej.si/uploads/thumbs/news/504/0/images/radio-svetilnik1-1920x1080-resize.jpg" data-size="1000x750"> <img src="https://pomorskimuzej.si/uploads/thumbs/news/504/0/images/radio-svetilnik1-300x480-resize.jpg" aria-label="The amateur radio operators (Photo: S53RA)" /> <figure>The amateur radio operators (Photo: S53RA)</figure> </a> </div> </div> <div class="picture"> <div> <a href="https://pomorskimuzej.si/uploads/thumbs/news/504/0/images/radio svetilnik2-1920x1080-resize.jpg" data-size="1000x750"> <img src="https://pomorskimuzej.si/uploads/thumbs/news/504/0/images/radio svetilnik2-300x480-resize.jpg" aria-label="" /> <figure></figure> </a> </div> </div> <div class="picture"> <div> <a href="https://pomorskimuzej.si/uploads/thumbs/news/504/0/images/radio svetilnik 3-1920x1080-resize.jpg" data-size="1000x750"> <img src="https://pomorskimuzej.si/uploads/thumbs/news/504/0/images/radio svetilnik 3-300x480-resize.jpg" aria-label="" /> <figure></figure> </a> </div> </div> <div class="picture"> <div> <a href="https://pomorskimuzej.si/uploads/thumbs/news/504/0/images/radio svetilnik 4-1920x1080-resize.jpg" data-size="1000x750"> <img src="https://pomorskimuzej.si/uploads/thumbs/news/504/0/images/radio svetilnik 4-300x480-resize.jpg" aria-label="" /> <figure></figure> </a> </div> </div> <div class="picture"> <div> <a href="https://pomorskimuzej.si/uploads/thumbs/news/504/0/images/radio svetilnik 5-1920x1080-resize.jpg" data-size="1000x750"> <img src="https://pomorskimuzej.si/uploads/thumbs/news/504/0/images/radio svetilnik 5-300x480-resize.jpg" aria-label="" /> <figure></figure> </a> </div> </div> <div class="picture"> <div> <a href="https://pomorskimuzej.si/uploads/thumbs/news/504/0/images/radio svetilniki 6-1920x1080-resize.jpg" data-size="1000x750"> <img src="https://pomorskimuzej.si/uploads/thumbs/news/504/0/images/radio svetilniki 6-300x480-resize.jpg" aria-label="" /> <figure></figure> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </article> </div> </main> <section class="bottom bottom-subscribe"> <h2>Sign up for e-News</h2> <div class="bottom-subscribe-description">Notification of news, etc.<br />More about the processing of personal data and your rights can be found <a href="/pdf/newsletter-privacy-policy-en.pdf">here</a>.</div> <form> <div class="bottom-subscribe-fields"> <input type="hidden" name="hash" value="266dd550a1cde13dc5f1fe3a0ea655a9981be929" /> <input type="text" name="e-mail" value="" placeholder="E-mail" aria-label="E-mail" class="bottom-subscribe-field-e-mail" /> <div class="bottom-subscribe-field-numbers">3 + 1 =</div> <input type="text" name="sum" class="bottom-subscribe-field-sum" aria-label="3 + 1" /> </div> <button type="submit">Application</button> </form> </section> <script> $('.bottom-subscribe form').submit(function(e) { e.preventDefault(); var post_data = { hash: $('[name="hash"]', this).val(), email: $('[name="e-mail"]', this).val(), sum: $('[name="sum"]', this).val(), }; var button = $('.bottom-subscribe form button'); button.attr('disabled', 'disabled'); button.addClass('loading'); $.ajax({ method: 'POST', url: "https:\/\/pomorskimuzej.si\/en\/subscribe", data: post_data, headers: { 'X-CSRF-TOKEN': "AAjDd02IZmGoRugCt6m3Zr5McfbCFXpCckxa6U4h" }, }).done(function(data) { button.removeAttr('disabled'); button.removeClass('loading'); if (data.success) { } else { } Swal.fire({ title: '', html: data.success ?
