ON THE AIR: SPECIAL AM NETS MARK D-DAY LANDINGS
Friday, June 6th marks the 70th anniversary of the Allied D-Day landings in Normandy, France. To commemorate this event the United Kingdom’s Vintage and Military Amateur Radio Society is organizing a series of full carrier amplitude modulation nets on 80, 60 and 40 metes for operators of vintage military wireless gear that would have been in use at that time.
These special AM nets will be open to all amateurs and joining stations are encouraged to undertake a little research beforehand, in order to provide a description of how their equipment type was used in Operation Overlord. The schedule times and frequencies for these net operations are 07.00 hours GMT on 3. 615 MHz, 11.00 UTC on 7.143 on MHz and 15.00 hours UTC on 5.317 MHz in those nations where operation on this 5 MHz frequency using full carrier AM is allowed. More about the sponsoring group is on the web at vmars.org.uk. (Southgate)
