2-metre QSO-party in Johannesburg and Pretoria

Amateur operators equipped for 144 MHz FM that are within working distance of Johannesburg and Pretoria are invited to take part in an area-wide 2 m FM QSO PARTY that will take place during the afternoon of Sunday, April 17th between 14:00 and 17:00.

Although primarily intended to be a fun event and on-the air get-together, awards will be made to the top-scoring three OM and three YL operators. The exchange for the QSO Party will be callsigns, signal reports, and the name and age of the operator and all designated simplex frequencies may be used. YL operators should substitute the number "88" for their age and your score will be the total ages of all the stations you have contacted.

It will be great to have all of the old-timers as well as the YL operators participate, so please spread the word to everyone.

The QSO Party will be sponsored by the Pretoria Amateur Radio Club and logs should be sent to them. Full details can be found on both the PARC and SARL websites.
