GB2MGY - This coming weekend
12/04/07 11:39
COBRAS members at GI2BX in Belfast Northern Ireland,
are running the special event station GB2MGY to
commemorate the 95th anniversary of the sinking of
the Titanic, this Saturday and Sunday (14th and
15th).
The COBRAS are affiliated to the ISWL, so this station will count for the Monitor award in the normal way.
The original plan was to operate from Blackhead lighthouse. This has now been shelved. They will instead be operating from the SS Nomadic, which is currently moored beside the Odyssey.
The QSL Manager is GI4GOS - see QRZ.com for details.
The SS Nomadic was built at the same time as the Titanic and is currently being restored in Belfast.
So if you are QSL'ing direct, please consider adding an extra Dollar for the restoration funds, it will be greatly appreciated.
Several other special "Titanic" calls will be QRV from around the world this weekend.
Please keep your eye on the DX Clusters, or spot them if you work any of these special Titanic stations.
