EFC 2012 on the Air

This great football sporting event is the third largest sports event in the world, and it is the first time the event will be held in Poland and Ukraine.

As radio amateurs operating around the world, we can take an active part in the promotion of various cultural, academic and sporting activities on the “airwaves of amateur radio’. As we recall, such radio activities took place in 2006 by German radio amateurs in connection with the World Cup football games. And again in 2008, both Austrian and Swiss radio amateurs organized and operated many special event stations in EURO 2008 with a special event Award program offered.
In 2012, Polish and Ukrainian amateurs, affiliated with PZK and UARL, are promoting the EURO 2012. The Awards program, held from 1 June to 5 July 2012, will activate many special event amateur radio stations and special certificates will be offered.
Details of the individual special event stations “EFC2012 on the Air” and their operators, with whom QSOs are valid for Awards, can be seen in the “EFC2012 Stations” subpage.
We invite all amateur radio operators, as well as SWL’s, to participate in our diploma program promoting EURO 2012 and football sporting events on the airwaves of amateur radio.
