SPANNING THE GLOBE

[IK0ZCW]

18 October 2024 marks the centenary of the world's very first trans-global two-way radio communication. The contact was made between Cecil Goyder, operating the Mill Hill School station (G)2SZ, and Frank Bell, (Z)4AA, operating from the South Island of New Zealand.
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of that historic contact, and celebrate the dawn of mass global communication, radio amateurs in the United Kingdom and New Zealand will be operating four special event stations:

ZM100DX early September-26 December from locations around ZL
GB2NZ 29 September-26 October from locations around the UK
ZL4AA 12-20 October from Shag Valley, New Zealand
G2SZ 14-20 October from Mill Hill School, England

QSL for all four calls via M0OXO's OQRS. The Goyder-Bell Award will be available for contacts made with the stations celebrating the centenary.
