ON100PES - La Belgique en Antarctique
20-05-2009
Ingediend door: ON5EX
 |
La Belgique fête en 2009 un double événement sur le plan scientifique. Il y a 100 ans, Adrien de Gerlache à bord du bateau ‘Belgica’ fut à la tête de la première expédition scientifique belge sur le continent Antarctique (1897 – 1899). Le 15 février de cette année, la nouvelle station de recherche ‘Princesse Elizabeth’ fut solennellement inaugurée. Cette nouvelle station de recherche est la première du genre qui satisfasse au concept du ‘zéro degré’ d’émission.
Les “Haspengouwse” radioamateurs du ‘Trudo Radioamateurs Club - TRC’ ont pour but de promouvoir ces deux événements concomitants durant toute l’année 2009 par l’utilisation d’un indicatif spécial. L’indicatif est constitué de trois éléments, ON, 100 et PES qui ensemble, forment ‘ON100PES’. ‘ON’ étant bien sur le préfixe pour la Belgique, le chiffre ‘100’ étant pour le centenaire de l’expédition polaire et ‘PES’ étant pour la contraction de ‘Princess Elisabeth Station’.
Une double carte QSL spéciale sera seulement envoyée à toutes les stations qui enverront d’abord leur carte QSL à l’adresse du radio club ON4TRC. De même, un diplôme est également prévu pour tous les OM qui réussiront à contacter la station spéciale sur au moins cinq bandes (HF + 2m/70cm).
