First Class CW Operators’ Club 75th Anniversary On-Air Celebration

To commemorate our 75th anniversary in May FOC is holding a month-long on-air event featuring more than 30 special "FOC" suffix calls. These will include GB75FOC, a special anniversary call for our club station. (GP4FOC will be used when operating from Guernsey, GS4FOC from Scotland and GT4FOC from Isle of Man). There will be many other FOC calls from the USA and VE and from more exotic locations such as VQ9, HZ1 and 5T.

Stations will gain points for contacting any FOC member and a beautiful certificate will be presented to stations who reach certain point levels.

 15 points = Bronze, 30 points = Silver, 50 points = Gold.

• QSO with an FOC member = 1 point
• QSO with an FOC member lasting 10 minutes or longer = 3 points
• QSO with an FOC suffix station (or M0RSE) = 5 points
• QSO with GB75FOC, GP4FOC, GS4FOC or GT4FOC = 10 points

 One QSO is allowed per station per band. All bands are allowed but QSOs must be CW, of course.

Listen for FOC members calling "CQ FOC 75." A list of current members can also be found on this web site in the "About FOC" section.
