ITU HQ on topband for CQWW CW Contest

A report from RSGB President Colin Thomas, G3PSM, states: "4U1ITU will be active during the CQWW CW Contest at the end of November and there will be a 160m operation.

"Currently there is no 160m operation due to the very high noise level from computers both from within the main ITU building itself, but also from surrounding international organizations.

"It is understood that a Titanex V160 has been promised from a Japanese source, and it is hoped that time can be found during the week preceding the contest to get the antenna up on the flat roof of the 5 storey Varembe building. However, most of the operators and helpers will be taking part in WRC-12 preparatory meetings during that week. A Multi Single operation is currently planned for the contest."
