Listen out for GB1418WAR throughout August 2014.
This Callsign will be active for the whole months on 1.8 to 28MHZ Bands, predominantly SSB but with the occasional CW. There will be no DATA operation.
The Callsign is a tribute to all those who suffered and lost their lives in the War.
The QSL Card is of special importance to the Operator as it shows his great uncle who himself ldied whilst serving his Country in the First World War.
The fastest way to receive any QSL Card I manage is to request them via M0OXO OQRS

Over the last few days I have seen visits to the blog from Turkey, it seems that TA...... callsigns are taking a sudden interest in the Isle of Man Amateur Radio Blog?
I wonder why - please let me know in the comments section.
Regardless of the reason you are very welcome!

RESTRUCTURING: MOLDOVA HAS JOINED CEPT LICENSES

International Amateur Radio Union Region 1 reports that Moldova has signed the pan-European CEPT Novice and Class 1 amateur radio license agreement.

The CEPT Radio Amateur License Class 1 corresponds to the United States Extra and United Kingdom’s Advanced and Full licenses. The CEPT Novice License is closely compatible to the Unites States General and UK Intermediate license.

There is also a CEPT entry class license which equate to the United States Technician and United Kingdom Foundation class, however Moldavia is not joining in that entry level system. At least not at this time. (IARU-R1)
