[IARU-R2-News 170] Special event stations WARD 2012
2012-03-21
On April 18, 2012 we will celebrate the World Amateur Radio
Day on the 87th
Anniversary of the founding of the International Amateur
Radio Union, IARU.
This year's theme for the World Amateur Radio Day is
"Amateur Radio Satellites:
Celebrating 50 Years in Space" in remembrance the
launching of OSCAR 1 on
December 12, 1961 and the launch of OSCAR 2 on June 2, 1962.
For this reason there will be several special event stations
from IARU's Member
Societies active on different dates during April: 6H6IARU,
3G73IARU and LZ1WARD.
If IARU's Member Societies plan to have a special event
station for this reason
in April let us now so we can publish the details before the
end of this month.
Send us an email to news@iaru-r2.org with the information.
