In celebrating 100 years of transatlantic amateur communication, members of YRARC will operate as call sign CF3BP when hosting this special event from November 13 to December 12

Bands are 160m, 80m, 40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, 10m, 2m, 70cm.

Modes are CW, Phone, FT8/4, and other (ie. SSTV, RRTY, etc).

Operators are encouraged to use their own equipment and operate from their home QTH, setup in a park, or other location.

To participate as an operator during the event, members must send an email to CF3BP...@yrarc.org to signup as an operator.

Once you get a confirmation, member operators can signup for 2hr timeslots to use the callsign and activate the event. Operations can take place simultaneously on different bands and modes. This provides lots of opportunities for members to operate at convenient times and use the equipment you already have.

The daily schedule will be posted on the YRARC website, and will be linked in QRZ.

Operators will submit electronic logs as .ADIF files to pres...@yrarc.org

More information about the event can be found at https://www.yrarc.org/cf3bp  or https://www.qrz.com/db/CF3BP

thanks, 73,

I activated the CF3BP callsign this morning in 20m phone from 10am to 12pm and streamed live via YouTube

Made 98 QSOs. People were interested and asking about the event.
