AX special callsign for ANZAC Day

Bob, VK0BP, currently employed by the Australian Antarctic Division as a Communications Tech from Davis Base Station (WABA VK-03, WAP AUS-03, IOTA AN-016), Antarctica, will be using the special callsign AX0BP on April 25th, to celebrate ANZAC Day.

ANZAC Day is a national public holiday to commemorate and honor the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I.

This holiday is observed by Australia and New Zealand, as well as the Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa and Tonga.

Bob can only use this callsign from midnight to midnight (local time -- Davis is +7 hrs UTC). However, Bob will not be able to operate the full 24 hours but will do his very best to operate as long as possible that day.

Australian operators can only use the AX prefix just 3 times
per year -- Australia Day (January 26th), ANZAC Day (April 25th) and World Telecommunications Day (May 17th).

QSL via VK2CA, direct only (2 USDs and a SAE is preferred).
