The latest ARRL Contest Bulletin introduces the new VJ-VK-VL contest call
system:
| The new Australian contest call signs are here! According to Glenn, VK4DU:
"The Australian comms regulator, ACMA, have approved the issue of 2 x 1 contest
call signs with VJ, VK and VL prefixes. These call signs are available for
Advanced-class amateurs and club stations, for contest operation only. There is
a limit of one call sign per licensee and one per club. The 2 x 1 contest call
sign structure was originally developed by a cross-sector committee convened by
the Radio Amateur Society of Australia. After a suggestion by the ACMA's
outsourced call sign provider, the Australian Maritime College, ACMA has
extended this structure to two new prefixes; VJ and VL. This allows 2 x 1 call
signs to be available to many more amateurs. [Here's] a link to the new call
sign template and FAQ." Glenn is the President of the Radio Amateur Society of
Australia Inc. |
I vote for Japan to be the next country to fall in line.
