TO7CC - Reunion Island
06-02-2014
Soumis par: ON4CAS
A TRADUIRE
François ON4LO maakt deel uit van het team dat van 6 t.e.m. 16 februari 2014 het eiland Reunion onder het roepteken TO7CC in de lucht zal brengen. Uit de statistieken van Clublog blijkt dat deze DXCC-entiteit vooral in digitale modes vrij zeldzaam is. De ploeg zal dan ook speciale aandacht aan deze modes schenken.
De F6KOP crew verdiende reeds haar sporen met verschillende DXpedities naar afgelegen gebieden.
Alle info over deze activiteit vind je op de TO7CC webpagina.

Elke afzonderlijke IOTA referentie telde één punt per band en mocht op maximaal drie verschillende banden worden gewerkt.

During 2014, the American Amateur Radio League (ARRL) is celebrating its 100th anniversary. To add some extra spice to the celebrations, a centennial QSO party is being held during the entire year.
The ARRL club station W1AW will be active from all states. An award is available for getting in the log from all locations. Furthermore, an award will be available for collecting an amount of points still needing to be determined.
Points are gained by working ARRL members and staff both in the US and abroad (e.g. ON4CAS who is a DXCC Card Checker counts 5 points while all other Belgian ARRL members count one point in each band/mode slot).
See the ARRL Centennial QSO Party webpage for details.

YOTA growing fast
01-12-2013
Soumis par: ON7TK
After the success of the Youngsters on the Air events in the northern hemisphere summer, we decided that it’s time to do some more action!During the whole month of December several countries will become active with YOTA as the suffix in the call sign. The idea for this is to break the ice for some youngsters and take the microphone in the hand.
As seen over the years, the YOTA-group is growing fast and every week more youngsters are asking to participate. You want to hear us on the air? Listen for Youngsters on the Air call signs in the whole month of December! At least 17 stations from 14 countries with young amateurs will be active. We would be happy if you try to work one or more of the following call signs: EA7URA/YOTA; EI0YOTA; ES5YOTA; ES9YOTA; LY5YOTA; OH2YOTA; OK2YOTA; OM9YOTA; OM13YOTA; ON4YOTA; PA6YOTA; S513YOTA; SN0YOTA; SH9YOTA; YO0YOTA; YL13YOTA and YL2013YOTA.
A special Youngsters on the Air Award is available.
