50th Anniversary Award

Doug G4BEQ Vice Chairman..

A special award to commemorate our golden anniversary has now been designed and approved by the committee.

 

 To qualify for this award you must have worked, or heard, 50 RNARS members between the period 1st January and 31st December 2010.  Mixed modes are acceptable but a station can only be counted once no matter on how many bands/modes you have worked/heard it. Each station worked/heard counts one point but special stations run by the RNARS during the qualifying period will count two points.

  Applications for this award must be on the official RNARS awards form which can be downloaded below, or by sending a suitable sae to the Awards Manager. QSL cards are not required.

The 50th Anniversary of the Society is being celebrated throughout the year 2010 by the special callsigns:

GB50RNARS - ON50RN - PA50RNARS - PB50RNARS - PC50RNARS
PE50RNARS - PF50RNARS - PG50RNARS - PH50RNARS

 
The RNARS was formed in June 1960. Next year, therefore, is the 50th anniversary and a number of events are being planned throughout the year to celebrate this occasion. These include activities at HMS Collingwood, the home of the Society's headquarters station, to which members of both the local and amateur radio communities will be invited.
 
The RNARS has been approved to use the callsign GB50RNARS as it is a milestone in the history of the Society. It appears that this or any other allocated callsign may be used by UK members only of the Society from their own stations for a period not exceeding 28 days in order for contacts to be available to the maximum number of Amateur Radio operators throughout the UK and beyond.
 
If any member wishes to use the allocated callsign from his or her home QTH for a set period, not exceeding 28 days during 2010, will you please inform me as soon as possible of the dates between which you will be able to operate the callsign together with your full name, your main station address and postcode at which your amateur radio license is authorised to operate, and a contact telephone number. These will be included in a schedule which will be attached to the application for the license, therefore, time is of the essence and if you are contemplating running the station to celebrate this occasion, then the information is needed immediately.
 
PLEASE NOTE that it is a condition of the Notice of Variation that any special event call of this nature MUST have access to the general public at the location from which it is used.
 
The following will be reserved dates:-
 
January 2010 - Glynn GW4MVA
February 2010 - Dave G1OCN / Phil G1LKJ
March 2010 - Mick G3LIK
April 2010 - HMS BELFAST GB2RN
