Chinese Olympic Special Event Stations

The opening ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games take place later today.

Chinese Amateur Radio Special Event stations celebrating the Olympics will be on-the-air throughout the Games - continuing until Wednesday, September 17.

Five special calls, representing the five rings of the Olympic flag, are QRV. 
 
The calls are BT1OB, BT1OJ, BT1OH, BT1OY and BT1ON.  The last letter of the callsign corresponds to the color of each of the rings of the Olympic flag - Beibei (Blue), Jingjing (Black), Huanhuan (Red), Yingying (Yellow) and Nini (Green). 
 
BA4EG will be the QSL manager for all stations.  QSLs can be sent either direct or via the bureau and will begin to be answered in October. 

There is a website set up at www.bj2008ses.com.cn which is now operational. 

The website includes an on-line log search, and QSL card receive and sent status, along with other information.  There will also be award criteria posted soon. 
 
So, look for these five Olympic special event stations to be QRV through September 17th.
