Radio Amateur Activity for Special Olympics – Greece

[IK0ZCW]

Seven years ago, 125 Greek radio amateurs participated in a unique Special Call activity, for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. During this historical operation they managed 146,731 QSOs on SSB, CW, RTY, PSK31 and SSTV in 10 bands. 202 DXCC countries from all 40 zones took the message of friendship and the Olympic spirit from Greek operators.

They hope to repeat (or better) this feat again for the 2011 Special Olympics.
