International Polar Year - GB4IPY

Look for Charles, MØOXO, to again activate the special event station GB4IPY until August 30th.

Activity is to celebrate the 'International Polar Year (IPY)'. The International Polar Year Events run until 2009 and has been set up to raise awareness about the plights of our Polar Regions in respect of Global Warming and other matters of interest.

The GB4IPY station is the only station active from the U.K. and for the World-Wide Antarctic Program it has a reference number of WAP-098 for the WAP chasers.

The station will be active on the HF bands and 6m using SSB, CW and PSK31 modes several times each week. There is also a new award now available by the operator and can be claimed for working a combination of GB4IPY and GBØANT stations on various bands and modes.

Details about the GB4IPY/GBØANT award can be found on MØOXO Web site at: http://charlesm0oxo.piczo.com/.

There are three levels ranging from a certificate to a trophy.
