Fortaleza Lighthouse32IR001 Felipe informed us, that Eduardo 12IR001 will start some activity from Fortaleza del Cerro Lighthouse.

The lighthouse was constructed in 1802 and is overlooking the Bay of Montevideo with an altitude of 134 meters above sea level, so a nice DX spot.

Eduardo starts the activity from 15 July 2023 until 700 stations are logged (no end date known).
