WIA to join IARU 90th birthday celebration
Date : 16 / 10 / 2015
Author : Jim Linton - VK3PC
Expressions of interest are being received by the WIA to celebrate
the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) jubilee, by mounting
a station using the special event callsign VI90IARU.
So far 40 IARU member societies have had the 90IARU suffix in
celebration of 90 years of the IARU in 1924, tallying up 353,000 QSOs.
Another 25 stations are expected to join.
The major mode is CW at 46%, followed by Phone 43%,
and Digital 12% of QSOs. Apart from on air contacts,
the IARU is offering a handsome diploma by contacting 90IARU callsigns
from 10 different countries, members of IARU. Qualifying stations
can get the free electronic diploma for QSOs between January 1
to December 31, 2015 – issued either as Mixed, CW, Phone or Digital.
Expressions of interest in using the VI90IARU callsign nominating
the date and time (UTC), are now being taken by the WIA office
nationaloffice @ wia.org.au
