TM97WARD, World Amateur Radio Day: April 18….

France’s REF reports the special event station TM97WARD will be on the air April 16-25 to celebrate World Amateur Radio Day which takes place on April 18

A translation of the REF post reads:

As last year, the REF has planned to celebrate WARD (World Amateur Radio Day) by activating the special call sign TM97WARD from April 16-25, 2022.

Operators willing to participate in this global event must come forward before March 15 by sending an email with their contact details (Area Code, Last Name, First Name, Locator, Department) to
indicatives-speciaux@ref.org indicatives-specials@ref.org

They will receive an acknowledgment of receipt that will confirm their registration and specify the terms and conditions. Only the first 30 applications will be considered.

During the activation period, a web page dedicated to the schedule of use of this indicator will be made available to operators, who will be required to provide their logs, and the REF will take care of printing and sending the QSLs.

By being even more present than last year on all our bands, the operators of the REF will thus display the dynamism of our country within the international amateur radio community.

It is also an effective way to get people talking about us with the public and the media.
