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
