RAF 100 CENTENARY SSES
1 APRIL 2018 - 31 MAR 20191st April 2018 marks the centenary of the formation of the RAF whilst coincidentally on this date RAFARS will be marking its 80th year; we would like to commemorate both in the strongest possible way. The extent to which we can achieve this objective will depend very much on what our members can, or wish to do, in the way of participation with Council providing where possible the necessary backing.
The good news is that with Ofcom approval and the support of the RAF100 office we have now secured the ‘Special’ Special Event Station callsign GB100RAF that we would like to be on air as much as possible, at as many events and locations as can be accommodated.
Members of RAFARS may request the use of any of the Society callsigns to operate as part of the RAF Centenary commemorations, G3RAF, G4RAF, G6RAF, G7RAF, G8FC, GB1RAF, VP8RAF and GB100RAF.
Operators who wish to use these callsigns should be aware that all contacts will need to be logged and that QSLs (IN) will be sent from the RAFARS bureau to you with the SAE.
If you have any thoughts, ideas and comments relating to RAFARS possible activities, please contact RAF100@rafars.org or send to RAFARS HQ RAF Cosford.
