Operation Market Garden Amateur Radio Special Event

/

Amateur Radio Special Event Station PA75OMG will be active between 12th - 22nd September 2019.

Activity is to commemorate and celebrate the anniversary of freedom.

As part of Operation Market Garden (OMG) in World War II, paratroopers of the allied forces, such as American, British, Canadian, Polish and Dutch troops, landed in the Nijmegen region on September the 17th, 1944, and the region would soon be liberated after four years of German occupation.

During the 10 days of activity, they will try to work as many amateur radio operators across the world as possible.

We are not asking for donations, but would appreciate any contacts during our 'on the air' time.

Visitors to the station are welcome, we will have tea/coffee available, and possibly some biscuits as well.

All proceeds will go to help Elliot and his family.
