Bar Dxing ?..  CQ7CAR

a CQ, beer and snacks special call sign...

Tired of amateur radio DXpeditions from remote locations, islands on the air, lighthouses and other classics?
Then, this one is for you!

Be ready for the third radio activity at Cahroi Bar, in Portugal, with the singular special call sign CQ7CAR, on this edition.

The first endeavour took place August 2007 and second at 2008 when a group of friends, committed to ham radio activated this kind of gastro pub in Gouveia, Sintra in Portugal, with the special call sign CT6CAR (2007), CT8CAR (2008)and now CQ7CAR

The CT8CAR Call Sign is no more available from Continental Portugal, because of the new laws of amateur radios communications in Portugal at last year 2009.

Such event was so successful that now, the same group, will back on radio from there, among good regional excellent meals and beverage.

The special event station will be on the air during July 24 to July 29, 2010.

The Cahroi Bar is a familiar establishment, placed on a hot spot for radio communications, serving lunches and dinners at the table, including a good wine and nice fresh local food that can rival a good restaurant's.

With some help from radio wave's propagation this special call sign will be easily reached at every amateur band on several modes.

The beacon will sign it up in the APRS system as well as at Google Earth. Both will give you the geographical coordinates of the location.
