Light codes.
 AH>                        i)      FlG
Flashing Green.  When unelaborated like this, it's usually a non-nautical 
light that is visible from seaward that might be of some assistance to 
mariners.
 AH>                       ii)      GP FL(3) 12s 34Feet 13M (U)
Group of three flashes repeated over a 12 second interval.  The light is 34 
feet above sea level and has a nominal range of 13 nautical miles.
 AH>                      iii)      Mo(A) 6s
Flashes the letter A in morse code.  Repeats every 6 seconds.
 AH>                       iv)      (VQ(6)+LF1) 10s
A goodie.  6 very quick flashes followed by a long one.  Repeats every 10 
seconds.
 AH>                        v)      Oc (2) 20s
Occults twice every 20 seconds (occulting lights are on for longer than 
they're off.  This light goes out, briefly, twice in 20 seconds).
Bye for now,
          Jackson
