HAM HAPPENINGS: LONDON OLYMPICS COMMEMORATIVE STATION MAY
HAVE SET WORLD RECORD
The Radio Society of Great Britain reports that the team
at 2O12L, the amateur radio station for the London Olympic
and Paralympic Games, believe that they have now broken the
world record for the number of Q-S-O's by a Special Event
Station. As of 21:42 UTC on August 21st, 2O12L had logged
contact number 47,791.
2O12L goes QRT on September 9th at the end of the Paralympic
Games closing ceremony. As such the operators are fairly
confident that they can achieve their target of 60,000
contacts.
It is believed the previous standing record for a ham radio
Special Event station was held by the group that operated
DQ2006X during the 2006 World Cup. That station was on the
air from May 13th through July 16th of 2006 and made 47,790
contacts.
More on the operation of 2O12L is on-line at www.2O12L.com.
