ZS10 Soccer World Cup Prefix

Radio Amateurs visiting South Africa may use the special ZS10 prefix for the Soccer World Cup during June and July

Visitors to South Africa during the Soccer World Cup event may operate amateur radio while in South Africa using the prefix ZS10 in front of their own call sign for example ZS10/M0XYZ.

The South African Radio League negotiated an agreement with the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa to allow all licensed Radio Amateurs visiting South Africa during June and July 2010 to operate while in South Africa on condition that they register with the South African Radio League prior to arrival in the country.

A registration form can be downloaded from http://www.amateurradio.org.za/worldcup.htm.
After completion email the form together with a copy of the passport page showing the owners photograph and a copy of the current amateur radio license to worldcup@sarl.org.za.

Keep a copy of this form and your license with you while in South Africa.
