ARLA/CLUSTER: UK Olympics special events satellite operations commence this week

[João Gonçalves Costa]

With the 'London 2012 Olympics' official opening taking place this week, this is a reminder of the previously posted information about the 'Amateur Radio Flagship Event Stations' that will be operating beginning Wednesday July 25 until the Games close on September 9.

The London station 2O12L (two-oscar-one-two-London) and the station in Wales (two-oscar-one-two-Wales) will be operating on amateur HF and VHF/UHF bands during the event.

The Barry Amateur Radio Society in Wales, subject to operator availability and suitable passes, will endeavor to make contacts via the amateur radio satellites as well, of course, as the HF bands.

London has a restriction imposed on VHF/UHF activation which will limit personal operations on the satellites. Outside the restricted zone however there maybe other amateur radio operators who may be active, not as "flagship stations" but using a personal or club call sign under a notice of variation.

Barry Amateur Radio Society in Wales looks forward to making as many contacts as possible for this rare opportunity. We take this as an opportunity to wish all those participating in the Olympic Games and amateur radio operators world wide "Good Luck".

Thanks to ANS and Ken Eaton, GW1FKY and the Barry Amateur Radio Society, Wales, UK for the above information
