In 2009, Belgium celebrated a double scientific event. It has been 100 years since Adrien de Gerlache led the first Belgian expedition to the Antarctic, on board the Belgica. (1897-1899).
On the 15th of February, of this year, the Princess Elizabeth research station was inaugurated. This research station is the first of its kind that follows the concept of “Zero Emission”.
The radio amateurs' of Haspengouw, of the Trudo Radioamateurs Club-TRC, want to take advantage of these coinciding events to use a special event call during 2009.
The call name will be based on 3 elements, ON, 100 and PES. In ON100PES the ON is the prefix for Belgium, 100 is the centenary for the pole expeditions and PES is the abbreviation for Princess Elizabeth Station.
The special event QSL card (double format) will only be sent to all stations who send their QSL card to ON4TRC.
There will be an award given to the O.M's who worked on five bands with the special event station. (HF + VHF/UHF - 2M/70CM).
