In order to commemorate the year 2017 as Lithuanian hill-forts year, call-signs LY17PM and LY17LP were used in the period of May-August.

The special calls were used in activation of 50 hill-forts. 31 special expeditions were arranged, and operators were LY1BWB, LY1SR, LY1TT, LY2BOK, LY2BIS, LY2EN, LY2HS, LY2KM, LY2MK, LY3AB, LY3IV, LY3VR, LY5AT.

The statistics of hill-forts activation in different regions look as follows: AL- 8, KA- 14, PA- 2, TA- 3,

TE- 5, UT- 15, VI- 3. It is a great pitty, that no any activation from Klaipeda, Marijampole and Siauliai regions was arranged.

7419 QSO with 3480 different stations from 68 DXCC countries were established during the activation period. All the operation was conducted on 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15 ir 2m bands. The majority of QSO was established on 20 meters band. The most popular mode was SSB, a bit less QSOs were on CW. Also FM and DIGI modes were used.

The most active supporter of all activations was LY2N, who established 81 QSO with special calls activators. Among foreigners we had the usual leaders: – ES1IP, OH3GZ, OM7OM, OM1AX, SP8LEP. According to the LHFA rules and results achieved, 26 foreign operators reached the limit of minimum 50 hill-forts. This number will increase soon, because some collegues are very close to this barrier.

Lithuanian Parliament (Seimas), taking into consideration, that hill-forts, lying nearby settlements, sacred places, cemeteries, tumulus, ancient roads are the values, strengthening Lithuanian national identity, and that the significance of most objects is not realized and their protection is not sufficient, decided to proclaim year 2017 as the Hill-forts year.

There is stressed in approved document, that the hill-forts are the symbol of Baltic culture and earliest Lithuanian State, evidence of self-dependence of Grand Duchy of Lithuania as well as source of inspiration of national revival movement.

Lithuanian radio amateurs are participating in this action in the limits of LHFA program.

During the period of May – June 2017, there will be operation from hill-forts, using special call-sign LY17PM and during period of July – August special call-sign LY17LP will be used. Also, operation with regular calls will occur all the year.

For this occasion special award is issued.

During the year of 2017 applicants must establish QSOs with 17 different hill-forts. All QSOs, using CW, PHPONE or DIGI modes are valid. Applications for award should be sent until March 1, 2018 to award manager’s address: vdurk.award@gmail.com.

Award can be issued in electronic form, JPG or PDF style upon applicant‘s request.

LY17PM, LY17LP QSL manager and LHFA program manager – LY2KM

Year 2017 is declared as the year of hill-forts, therefore the nomination „Hunter 2017“ is announced.

Every different station, operating from hill-fort, gives one point, regardless of band or type of modulation. Every activated hill-fort gives 1 point for activator. All the results will be summarized in the end of the year. Top operators, also top foreign operators will be awarded with the prizes of program sponsors – the books.

During the period of May – August activation of hill-forts with special calls is planned.

There were 56 hill-fort activations during the year 2015. 83 hill-forts were activated. 19 amateurs were among hill-fort activators, 3 of them for the first time – LY1UG, LY2TS, LY3EU.

LHFA annual activity day was organized at July 6 in occasion of King Mindaugas coronation anniversary. 9 expeditions were executed and 15 hill-forts were activated.

Activators of hill-forts and the most active program participants received awards from our sponsor - very useful books "Archeological Researches in Lithuania".
Only few activators describe impressions about their trips and adventures in our web site, although there are good opportunities to do so. Obviously they do not pay enough attention and do not want to spend their time for that. The same time these descriptions are extensively read.

 There were 167 hill-fort activations during the year 2015. 297 hill-forts were activated, 17 of them were activated twice, 1 was activated 3 times. 35 amateurs were among hill-fort activators, 12 of them for the first time - ES2TT, LY1TT, LY1WS, LY2BIS, LY2CS, LY2GN, LY2PAD, LY2RJ, LY5AT, LY5DT, LY5NF, LY5WB.

LHFA program 10 years anniversary was commemorated. We used special call-sign LY10LHFA in hill-fort activation, and this callwas heard from 90 hill-forts, located in 53 WAL squares and from 11 LYFF parks. 4 activations were in the limits of WCA event. Totally there are 6757 QSO in LY10LHFA log with amateurs from 63 DXCC countries. QSLs are sent out upon request.

LHFA annual activity day was organized at July 6 in occasion of King Mindaugas coronation anniversary. 9 expeditions were executed and 17 hill-forts were activated.
Activators of hill-forts and the most active program participants received awards from our sponsor - very useful books "Archeological Researches in Lithuania".
Only few activators describe impressions about their trips and adventures in our web site, although there are good opportunities to do so. Obviously they do not pay enough attention and do not want to spend their time for that. The same time these descriptions are extensively read.

Hillforts are the best known and the most beautiful archaeological monuments in Lithuania. Their total number approaches one thousand. Lithuania has more hillforts, to which this atlas is devoted, than our neighbouring countries.

This year Lithuania celebrates 10-th anniversary of Lithuanian Hill-Forts award’s program. During June-July, 2015, activity from Lithuanian hill-forts is planned under special call LY10LHFA, also under regular call-signs. In this occasion the special award

LHFA Program – 10 years

is established.

In order to obtain this award it is necessary to establish two-way contacts with 10 different Lithuanian hill-forts. All QSOs between June 1 and July 30, 2015 are valid in any amateur bands, any mode (CW, SSB, FM or DIGI).

Applications should be sent to: vdurk.award@gmail.com

until August 30, 2015.

The award will be issued and sent in .JPG or .PDF format upon request.

There were 72 hill-fort activations during the year 2014. 126 hill-forts were activated, 33 of them for the first time. Among the expeditioners were 18 amateurs, four of them for the first time - LY2BKF, LY3AB, LY3VR and LY5CB. 

LHFA activity day was organized at July 6 in occasion of King Mindaugas coronation anniversary. 10 expeditioins were execyted and 21 hill-fort was activated. Such an event became tradition and we are looking forward to prolong it.
Activators of hill-forts and amateurs having awards of highest degree received awards from our sponsor - very useful books "Archeological Researches in Lithuania".
Finally we implemented the idea of LHFA electronic log. We are thankful Saulius LY1VP for this. We have not received  so many logs yet, so the activators should pay more attention for this.
Only few activators describe impressions about their trips and adventures in our web site, although there are good opportunities to do it. Obviously they do not pay enough attention and do not devote their time. The same time these descriptions are extensively read.

There were 39 hill-fort activations in 2013. Expeditioners activated 80 hill-forts, 15 of them for the first time. Expeditions were conducted by 15 radio amateurs, including four for the first time. This guys were  LY1SR, LY1YZ, LY2OU and LY2XV. Most active was LY1SR, zigzagging 26 hill-forts. This is a good example of how addictive and with and with a desire can be something done.

On July 6th, the day of the coronation of King Mindaugas, there was organized LHFA  activity day. We had four expeditions. I think it is going to become a tradition every year.

All the hill-forts activators who visited at least 25 hill-forts received  LHF-ACTIVATOR awards, and some of them with stickers.

Last year we received all the activators`logs except one. So far we failed to implement the LHFA electronic log. We do not give up with this idea and I think it will happen this year.

Supplemented is hill-forts list, which is valid from 2014-01-05.
