Radio Activity 36th Anniversary of the
Gesta de Las Islas Malvinas - Falkland Islands
This is a new radial operation of the ECO RADIO Expeditionary Group; in this opportunity made on a very expensive date for all Argentines, given that The Falklands War has marked without hesitation and not hesitate, the heart and soul of all who inhabit this beautiful country.
This exercise that calls us today, is a new proposal of our group, which for 18 years now, has an unceasing activity in this type of operations with which it tries to sustain the activity of radio amateurs with interesting and attractive proposals for all those who are interested in contacting their expeditions.
The 36th Anniversary Radio Activity of the Malvinas Festival, takes place from the NATIONAL MONUMENT TO MALVINAS, located in the city of Oliva, Province of Córdoba Argentina.
There, in a large parquizado space, it has been tried to show elements that have taken part in this military feat, many of which are the last survivors in their type. You can find there different types of aircraft, such as El Canberra, Pucará, Los Mirage and also a replica of the bow of one of the emblematic ships for Argentina, which was sunk in the waters of the South Atlantic, during the war , even though it was outside the limits of the exclusion zone for that conflict. We refer to the Crucero ARA General Belgrano (LU3EMC); eternal tomb of honor for more than three hundred sailors who offered their lives in pursuit of the ideal of independence and homeland.
It is in the replica of the prow of that honorable ship, which is also the MALVINAS NATIONAL MUSEUM, a permanent sample of equipment, images and elements that, treasured by thousands, review what happened there in the austral Argentinean land.
The ECO RADIO Group is only a tiny part of its activity, in this huge set of acts that; Year after year, they are held to commemorate April 2.
We are grateful then, to the authorities of this museum, to the municipal authorities of Oliva, to our friends in the three Argentine Armed Forces, Security Forces, Veterans Association of the Malvinas and very especially to the national authorities of ENACOM, who with filled out our request to grant us the Special Distinctive Signal AZ 36 H. Although the prefix AZ is not usually heard on the radio, it is framed between the Prefixes granted to the Republic of Argentina by ITU: LOA to LWZ, from L2A to L9Z and from AYA to AZZ
