World Cup Amateur Radio Special Event Stations

World Cup Special Event Stations

German radio amateurs plan to celebrate the 2006 Football World Cup being held in their country by putting on a number of special event stations.

From now until 16 July, no less than 26 special district stations (with callsigns in the DQ2006A to DQ2006Z range) will be on the air. There will also be 12 special stadium stations with callsigns DR2006B, DR2006C, etc. The special callsign WFC06 will also be in operation throughout the World Cup.

Amateurs or short wave listeners who log these special event stations could be eligible for a series of awards sponsored by the Deutsche Amateur Radio Club.
