Australian ANZAC Commemoration
Date Until:
01/01/2016
Australia and New Zealand are commemorating 100 years since the landing of troops at Gallipoli in WWI. This is a significant commemorative event and Amateur Radio in Australia will have special event call signs in operation for most of 2015. These call signs will have the special event prefix VI followed by the State or Territory designator and then the word ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps). See http://www.wia.org.au/newsevents/anzaccentenary/about/.The next ANZAC event will commence on February 20th and will continue until March 3rd. This will be the Darwin Amateur Radio Club using VI8ANZAC.
Below are the recommended frequencies for the ANZAC events. Please use these as calling frequencies wherever possible and QSY as necessary. All contacts will be appreciated.
On another matter, Australia, through the Wireless Institute of Australia, has reached agreement with the Regulator to use the AX prefix over the weekend of the 25th and 26th April i.e. two days instead of one day.
