Finally the website came online:
The WAE Marathon
August 9 - September 14, 2008
August 9 - September 14, 2008
In order to allow the entire world to participate in this event, it is not enough to hold a party over the radio on the actual birthday. Therefore, the two contests that are closely related to the WAE award, the WAEDC CW and the WAEDC SSB, will form the timing cornerstones of our Marathon. Especially for our friends outside of Europe is this competition a good possibility to receive lots of band points for the WAE Marathon.
The DARC Committee for DX and HF Contesting is the ideal host to invite the radio amateurs of the world to hold many contacts with their European partners. Participate as well, and maybe you will even go on a WAE expedition!
We are celebrating the anniversary with the issuance of an achievement certificate similar to the WAE Award in accordance with the current award rules.
In the 21st century, there are already many different electronic log and internet applications in use in amateur radio. This fact will be used for applying for the WAE60 Marathon as well as for the award. In addition, all participants will be eligible for the drawing for attractive prizes.
We invite you
