This page shows the lighthouses of Montenegro (more properly called Crna Gora, which translates as Montenegro in Italian or Black Mountain in English.) Most of this page is based on the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society database. w8 Descriptions are gathered from a collection of places, but prominent in my reference list is the Lighthouse Directory created by Russ Rowlett. w6 |
