630-METER SPECIAL EVENT
November 12, 2016


On November 3, 1906, the Berlin treaty made 500 kHz the International
Distress Frequency.  630-meter operators will commemorate the Berlin Treaty
with a special event on Saturday night, November 12.  Three different groups
will participate:

" U.S. Experimental Operators,
" Canadian Amateurs, and
" Maritime Radio Historical Society.

U.S. Part-5 Experimental Operators including WD2XSH stations and others will
operate in the 472 - 479 kHz band.  They will use CW transmissions for QSOs
and beacons with special messages.  There may also be some operation on 500
kHz itself.

Canadian Amateurs will also engage in CQ QSOs in the
472 - 479 kHz band.  They will also participate in cross-band QSOs with
amateurs operating on 80 and 40 meters.

The Maritime Radio Historical Society will activate its KSM/KPH transmitter
at Bolinas, CA for a mini "Night of Nights" with special messages and
bulletins.

Detailed information will be posted on a number of sites as the event
approaches, including:
