Roskilde 1658 Award

During the weekend of April 4-5th, look for stations that are involved in the 'Roskilde 1658 Award'. Details about this award was featured in the February 2009 issue of CQ Magazine.

Stations expected to be active are SB1658OZ, SH1658DK, SH1658OZ, SK1658DK and the Danish wild card station OZ1658ROS. That is a total of five qualifying callsigns active, but you only need four callsigns for the award.

It was also mentioned that due to a called district meeting arranged by SK7BQ during the past weekend, the callsigns operated by SK7BQ, SC1658OZ and SK1658OZ will not be active during the upcoming weekend.

The five special callsigns will mainly be active on 80, 40 and 20 meters, depending on conditions, using CW and SSB. Stations SB1658OZ and SH1658OZ will also be active on PSK31.

The press release states, "We have noted in our logs that
many award hunters work only CW or RTTY/PSK31. You will be more successful if you work as many modes as possible. Not all of our operators are able to work digital modes or CW."
