| The lighthouse was built on the western cape of Skaftoe Island in 1883 as a combination of Lighthouse and home for two light keeper families. The lantern was situated in the attic facing west. The light was in use until 1938. A new lighthouse was built 400 m north: Islandsberg (New) SWE 203. To reach the point one has to walk 1 km across the moors and rocky terrain. Access by boat is only possible when the sea is calm and the forecast is stable. All equipment is usually backpacked(including batteries for 48 h operation). Antennas used: Inverted V dipoles for 40 and 80 m , vertical dipoles for 20,17,15 and 10 m.Moxon on 2 m. I am also active as SM6TUW. |
