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.]]>enquiries@g6ut.comSpecial Activity2007-04-03T10:51:03+01:00http://www.g6ut.com/news/dxnews_files/70edef2158145c061a5120e44dac4c1c-2.html#unique-entry-id-2http://www.g6ut.com/news/dxnews_files/70edef2158145c061a5120e44dac4c1c-2.html#unique-entry-id-2www.titanicbranson.com

Worldwide Amateur Ham Radio Broadcast Event April 14-15, 2007

To commemorate the 95th anniversary of the sinking of Titanic, ham radio
operators worldwide will participate in a special-event broadcast
originating from the TITANIC Museum Attraction beginning at 8a.m., Saturday
April 14, and concluding at 7p.m. Sunday, April 15, 2007.

Ham operators will transmit the news of the anniversary using special event
call sign W0S. Operators from Nixa, Missouri have permission from the FCC to
broadcast using this special call sign, which stands for "White Star," the
name of the company that built the Titanic.

The brainchild of museum attraction co-owner, Mary Kellogg Joslyn and Nixa
Amateur Radio Operators Rich Vogt (KB9YZE), Dave Beckler (WA0SAP), Al Gallo
(W0ERE) and Rod Kittleman (K0ADI), the worldwide broadcast will take place
to honor the radio broadcasters working aboard the Titanic on the night she
sank.

The solar news is not brilliant, although there have been a number of sunspots over the past few days... (It peaked at 50, but is back down to zero now)

The predicted planetary A index for Friday through Monday, October 27-30, is 10, 20, 10 and 5. Geophysical Institute Prague calls for unsettled conditions today, October 27, unsettled to active on October 28, quiet to unsettled on October 29-30, and back to quiet conditions for October 31 through November 2. Also, on Thursday October 26, the sunspot number was back to 0. Don't be surprised if we see no sunspots through the weekend and beyond]]>
