ARLX016 Reminder: 630 Meter Berlin Treaty Commemorative Special
Event is Sunday, November 13 (UTC)
Participants in the ARRL WD2XSH 630-meter experiment, Canadian radio
amateurs, and members of the Maritime Radio Historical Society
(MRHS) will join together for a special event operation on Sunday,
November 13 (UTC) on 630 meters (the evening of Saturday, November
12, in US time zones).
This event will commemorate International Radiotelegraph Conference,
held in Berlin in 1906 and attended by representatives of 29
nations, which made 500 kc the International Distress Frequency. The
conference produced the International Radiotelegraph Convention, the
forerunner to the ITU Radio Regulations.
US Part 5 Experimental licensees will operate in the 472-479 kHz
band, using CW for two-way contacts and beacons with commemorative
messages. There may also be some operation on 500 kHz.
"Canadian amateurs will also engage in QSOs in the 472-479 kHz
band," said ARRL 630-Meter Experiment Coordinator Fritz Raab, W1FR.
"They will also participate in cross-band QSOs with amateurs
operating on 160, 80, and 40 meters."
Canadian radio amateurs gained 630-meter privileges in 2014. A
proceeding that would grant similar privileges to US hams is still
awaiting FCC approval.
The Maritime Radio Historical Society will activate the KSM/KPH
transmitter in Bolinas, California, for a mini "Night of Nights,"
with special messages and bulletins.
