As you may remember, our friend Guru EA2IF passed away on March 11th 2022.
Since then a number of his ham friends did a tribute to his memory by carrying out activations running a Special callsign.
This year we’ve got from the telecommunications authorities the following special callsign that we’ll use:
EG60GURU
What’s the plan?
-
Activation: the Special callsign will be used to do several activation during March 2025 from summits within mainland EA.
When activating we’ll always add the suffix /P
Alerts will be put in Sotawatch, as the dates will depend upon the weather. We hope to be lucky around the significant March 11th date. -
Chasing: as perhaps there are other activators who would like to have a QSO with us, we’ll be using also these callsigns to chase from home. This way we’ll increase the opportunities to log some near activators and other DX.
When chasing we will not add the suffix /P, therefore we are at home.
There will be no paper QSL, but all the QSO will be uploaded to the Sota Database and any activation will also be listed in the event web page:
Hear you from the summits. Thanks for participating in these friendship waves.
Don’t get mad about the extrange callsign if you get this call.
