Announced HQ Operations: IARU 2001

The 2001 IARU HF World Championship will take place July 14-15. A unique feature of this contest is that contacts with IARU member headquarter stations and those of IARU officials count as multipliers in calculating the final score. See the contest rules for further details. This list represents such special operations which have been announced by their organizers.

The Northern California Contest Club has made available PDF files containing a checklistlist of all IARU members and their official abbreviations and a listing of headquarters stations that actually participated in 1998, 1999, and 2000 IARU Championships. (You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to view these files).

If you'd like to announce your headquarters operation, please send the details to: Bill@ng3k.com.
