This
activity/event takes place every year. It started on May 5th, 1940,
where
Chinese amateur radio operators started an "On air conference". On
May 5th,
1947, the conference covered all the regions in China, it was the
biggest on
air event. In 1942 and 1944, there were 2 exhibitions associated
with the
"On air conference". In recent years, the CRAC organized several
events on
May 5th every year and designated that day as a Chinese amateur
radio
festival, called "5.5 Festival". Due to COVID-19, the CRAC called
for all
amateur radio operators "Stay Home" to fight for the Conoravirus
situation.
The 2020 "5.5 Festival" was shifted to the air waves.
The CRAC provides
special awards to whose who meet the criteria below.
Award application can be
sent to (cq55@crac.org.cn); indicate your
call-
sign, award category and E-mail address to receive the award. The
award
application deadline is September 30th, 2020.
Award Rules: The
award has three categories Bronze, Silver and Golden,
which will be measured
by slots worked. One slots is a combination of a
special callsign, band and
mode. For example, worked B1CRA in 20m, SSB,
model is 1 slot.

For
non-BY Applicants (XX9, BV, VR2 applicants applied in this category):
Bronze Award: 8 slots
Silver Award: 15 slots
Golden Award: 30
slots -- Must consist of all 10 special callsigns
BORED WITH "STAY AT
HOME" ORDERS? Although we are missing DXpeditions,
there is a tremendous
amount of activity on the bands as every country
in the world seems to have
stay at home orders. With no expeditions,
some may be experiencing a lack of
motivation to get on the air. We have
the answer! CQ's annual DX Marathon!!
Each year hams are invited to work
as many countries and CQ zones as
possible. So far this year over 255
CQ countries have been active plus all 40
zones. That is a lot of DX
chasing to keep everyone busy! There are plenty of
certificates and even
plaques for the top scores each year, but many hams
simply compete against
themselves to improve their totals each year. This is
a wonderful time
to participate in the DX Marathon and see how many countries
and zones
you can work this year!!! Complete details on the DX Marathon are
available
on the DX Marathon website - www.dxmarathon.com .
Come and join the
fun! 73, John K9EL
