ANZAC Centenary callsigns deadline
Date : 28 / 02 / 2015
Author : Jim Linton - VK3PC
All applications for the commemorative ANZAC suffixed callsigns issued
by the WIA must be made fairly soon and certainly finalised before the
end of March. The WIA Board has a deadline of March 31 for its ANZAC
callsigns, with applications accepted online and filled in using the
correct UTC day or days. The callsign applications are only for up to
a week at a time.
If seeking an ANZAC callsign read the requirements and obligations which
include eQSLing, logging and award eligibility.
This information will not only be of interest to ANZAC stations,
but they can mention them frequently on air and refer to the WIA website
for full further detail.
ANZAC callsign bookings have been good and where overlaps in proposed dates
have occurred, the majority of groups are showing consideration and have
been flexible enough to adapt. Also a number of other clubs and individuals
are to use the alternative AX callsign prefix, available this year for up
to 48 hours.
Following WIA representations the ACMA in recognition that this is the
Centenary of ANZAC, will allow for the use of AX on Saturday and
Sunday April 25 and 26.
The WIA recommends that if AX is used then a QSL card with that callsign
be used to satisfy the many prefix and commemorative event hunters.
