[João Costa > CT1FBF]

90th anniversary of first UK to NZ radio contact

The 18th October 2014 will see the 90th anniversary of the first UK to
New Zealand radio contact, made on 80 metres between 18-year-old Cecil
Goyder (2SZ) at Mill Hill School in London and Frank Bell (4AA) in
Shag Valley, on New Zealand's South Island.

To celebrate this anniversary, special callsign GB2NZ will be active
from 20th September to 18th October. The call will be made available
in turn to a series of stations around the UK during this period.

GB2NZ will operate CW and SSB, on 80m when there is propagation but
otherwise on the HF bands. In addition, the unique callsign 2SZ will
be active on 11-18th October from Mill Hill School.

QSL for either GB2NZ and 2SZ via M0OXO, preferably through his OQRS
(www.m0oxo.com/).
