11/07/2008: A Greek ancient system of communication with fire from
torches above mountaintops is called fryktories from fryktos that means
"the torch" in Greek. On July 13th and after 3200 years we will be
climbing up the same mountaintops with Turkish Hams and will transmit
through the hamradio frequencies a message from Troy - located in N.W
Turkey up to Mykines that is in Southern Greece using a special call on
every mountaintop that the original message passed through. The same
mountaintops are mentioned from Aeshylus in his drama "Agamemnon" and
they are the ones that brought back to the Mikines city the message that
Troy has fallen into the hands of the ancient siege army. The
transmitted message will be passing along the nodes on the 2m band from
one station to another. The special calls that will be used through this
campaign will be: Turkey - Mountain Ida (Troy) to be announced; Greece -
SX8FRA Lemnos Island; SX2FRB/A Athos mountain; SX8FRC Kandili Evia,
SX1FRD Mesapio, Biotia; SX1FRE Kitheronas; SX1FRF Gerania; SX3FRG
Arachneon, Peloponisos; and SX3FRH Mikines. Every Station will have at
least 2m SSB/FM capability with yagi antennas. Before and after the
event every station will be trying to make as many QSO's as possible
with the special calls. Also that day we expect that many other hilltops
will be activated in 2m band from other Greek and Foreign hams that will
be joining this event. Nik, SV1EEX will be QRV from Kitheronas mountain
with the call SX1FRE. Along with him will be SV1EOS, SV1JGX and SW1JGW.
GRID Loc: KM18OE. They will be active July 11-14th on 80-2m + 70 cm.
